Like the Title of this post says this show looks like something I would've seen on Saturday mornings as a kid but it's really not! One of the 3 orphans at Chiu's Dojo is named Silencio....not because he's shy! Yeah...that's some dark shit for an animated show! The show masterfully balances the dark aspects and the lighter side with humor that doesn't pull you out of the moment. There are 2 characters that deliver the chuckles, Jesus, another of the 3 orphans who's the "Lunk" type who appreciates the cerveza's....think of Jackie Chan's Drunken Master movie.
Then there's Brister, a DEA agent sent to San Simon, the shit that comes outta this guys mouth had me rolling! The best way to describe Brister is Dave Chappelle's personality in Michael Clarke Duncan's body.
One of the things I appreciated most about the show was the fact that almost every character was more than one dimensional! Almost no one is who they initially appear to be!
The animation Studio is the same that is doing the Castlevania Netflix series, Powerhouse Studio's, I really like the style, they excel in the blood and gore and horrific aesthetic....if you're into that.
It's eight episodes long and the series concludes with a clear open end for season 2!
