didn't catch it completely, was doing other stuff while it was on and wanted to focus more on it. So am catching the next broadcast (plus taped it so can watch it later again hopefully).
From what I saw though, it was funny. I saw/heard most of the episode. Definitely liked it better than the first episode.
Seems kind of celebrity-culture focused, at least in these first few eps. Maybe they're getting that out of the way or something. I really do like these eps, I think they are funny and entertaining etc.
My concern is that - it's not - okay, it's funny, don't get me wrong, and I think the jokes are extremely well constructed, but aside from the fantastic/unique visuals, it's not going anywhere new. I mean, it's not showing me anything - like every other
sitcom/animated comedy out there sort of already does this.
They pick a celebrity and go for an episode. Or some pop culture thing and do that.
I wouldn't place Frankenhole exactly in that throng just yet, as the visuals I think really set it apart. Which - I guess you'd sort of expect from these animators and this animation house. And the writing is very good. But - and maybe this is simply a function of this being a new series/just getting its TV legs sort of deal, it's not utilizing any of the elements it possesses as yet to set itself apart from the throng in the way that it perhaps could.
It's a decent show. It's entertaining. But right now it's just another show. I would say - maybe just another show with a ton
of potential.
And that's probably something we'll see expanded - I mean, my feeling/prediction is that as the series progresses, we'll see more and more of that potential realized.
I mean, already, I thought (and this means nothing in a sense since these are out of order) this week's episode was a little better. And that may well be an element in the order of these eps. Maybe in a sense part of it is that this is something of a creative progression rather than a progression of what particular order they were written/intended from a plot perspective or whatever.
I like the show. It's entertaining and holds a lot of promise. I wouldn't say it's as good as it has the potential to be by a wide
stretch, but also sense that it'll get there given a little time.
another coincidence I'm sure. Pretty good episode though.
