"The Midnight Gospel" is a Strange, but Vibrant and Funny Animated Show

Review of Netflix’s The Midnight Gospel:

From the creators of the magnificently made Rick and Morty comes another adult animation show dubbed The Midnight Gospel which brings another strange brew of dry humor, vibrant visuals and a whole lot of iffy content. It’s not quite as good as Rick and Morty, or even Big Mouth, but it’s still an often funny, fast-paced show. The show is about a spacecaster named Clancy (Duncan Trussell) who goes into his malfunctioning simulator to interview beings of other worlds. The whole affair plays as an animated, visually vibrant adventure with some otherworldly stuff going on. It’s an acid trip made by Netflix, yes. The creative, if simple plot blends well with Trussell’s exceptional lead performance and the visually appealing animation, making another piece of television perfect for fans of adult animation. It’s not for everyone’s tastes, that’s for certain, the blood and gore may come by as a little disturbing for some folks, but the majority should be satisfied with this crude new TV show. It’s not only fascinatingly strange, there’s also some good insight there on human life that will teach us all something, even if that insight takes place in a world of zombies, for example. Just don’t let the kids watch it! It’s no My Little Pony, that’s for sure.

Should you Binge, Browse, or Skip?

The Midnight Gospel isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s vibrant visuals, solid performances and creative plot make it worth watching for fans of adult animation. I would say…BINGE IT
