Really Surprised!

Let's be realistic.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The description of this show states that "Buffoonery ensues" from the premise for this show. Well, I don't know that I would call any of this "buffoonery".The animation quality isn't all that great, but then neither is South Park. But South Park has better writers, and some hilarious situations. Golan is lucky to give you a laugh an episode. "Funny" is not the same as "absurd".Golan also seems to be a bit schizophrenic about its style. There are a lot of bodily-function references, some leering at women, and a general contempt for the family that, for some reason, puts up with this "visitor". But it has relatively mild language, perhaps in the hope that it will be suitable for family viewing. Somehow, I don't think it is going to be a major threat to "The Simpsons" in that department.Sorry, Golan, but you should go back to that alternate universe from whence you came -- and don't let the door hit you on your ample backside on the way out.

I am a long-time fan of Fox Sunday night programming, which has been at the heart of "animation domination" for some time now. David Letterman once joked with a guest who I think was one of the voices of one of those shows- "they're playing nothing but cartoons over at Fox, huh??" LMAO And he has a point- for Sunday nights anyways. It just seems that any live-action sitcoms they try on that network- on that night- fails. "Bob's Burgers", "Family Guy", that institution known as "The Simpsons", and over the years, "Futurama", "American Dad", "King of the Hill", "The Cleveland Show", "The Critic", etc.. etc.. the list goes on and on.Now with the latest, "Golan the Insatiable"- which I look at sorta as an animated "Beetlejuice". Unlike that film, however, so far I'm not terribly impressed. I've only seen a couple episodes so far, but don't find it all that funny- the animation is pretty bad (maybe intended that way I dunno??). But I'll probably keep watching for a few more episodes. Sometimes it can take these shows awhile to find their rhythm...

"Golan the Destroyer" is not among my very favorite cartoons on "Animation Domination", but it is still quite enjoyable (I prefer "Axe Cop" and "High School USA"). The show is about a demon who's been tossed onto the Earth to live with a clueless human family. Their strange Goth daughter instantly bonds with Golan and becomes his willing servant. They have a variety of adventures that show that Golan is a jerk--but a mostly harmless one despite his bluster and threats to destroy mankind. The animation for this one is decent but unremarkable. What makes it good is that it is creative and very unique. Sometimes I find myself laughing and enjoying it simply because it is so strange and wrong! Well worth seeing for strange viewers--'normals' will probably just find it all too weird and confusing.

At first glance Golan the insatiable looks like the sort of show filled with profanity and cheap humor. As a result I was reluctant to give it a try, however i am certainly glad I did. The structure of the show itself is pretty simple, it follows the misadventures of Golan, a brutal god- lord and dark ruler from another realm, and his best friend/ squire of sorts, Dylan, a 9 year old goth girl. Though Golan may be an evil dark lord, he is primarily concerned with his young companion and the dynamic between the two of them is really quite charming. Though the show contains its fair share of crude humor, the show itself is actually pretty smart. Situational Irony combined with both dark humor and subtle plot themes make the show really quite amusing. The most impressive aspect of this show is how it manages to be both dark and silly. Going in with an open mind, this is a show that most anybody would enjoy.
