Comedy Central's goofy take on gritty, sex-drenched crime dramas of the 1980s is presented in the animated "Moonbeam City," a retro-futuristic extravaganza that dares to go to the mean streets of mystery and criminal excess. Patrolling those streets is undercover detective Dazzle Novak, a handsome, sex-crazed blockhead who commits more crimes than most criminals. With seductive yet overbearing chief Pizzaz Miller closely watching her underling, and hotshot rookie Rad Cunningham dying to see him fail, Dazzle may be forced to do actual police work.

Rob Sheffield Rolling Stone 09/29/2015
Dazzle Novak is the ultimate Eighties supercop in this fantastic animated romp, set in a neon-and-pastel Hair Decade where everything looks like a Duran Duran album cover. It's Miami Vice times Archer with a side of Scarface. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 09/17/2015
I rather liked it, though for its form possibly more than for its content. (Note: Subsequent episodes improve on the pilot.) Go to Full Review Jesse Hassenger AV Club 09/17/2015
B
What holds promise for future episodes is the mix of strange throwaway jokes and striking visual style that makes its dialogue-heavy jokes go down easier. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/09/2020
Moonbeam City feels half-baked, a pilot that feels more like a rough sketch of an animated skit than a fully-realized blueprint for a series to follow. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 09/21/2015
3/5
Sex, violence, retro style in animated 80s cop comedy. Go to Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life 09/18/2015
The comedy in Moonbeam City is scattershot, and it misses more than it hits. The writers should concentrate their fire on one target. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Artyom J 05/31/2021 Fun, beautiful and chill See more 12/06/2019 I honestly love watching Moonbeam city, the looks and the feels of these 10 episodes just made the perfect serries that could have existed for longer but kept being pushed underground. But my love and mind doesnt get lost as i constantly think of this show. THIS is a one in a lifetime show to me. Unforgetable to me ever. See more 08/24/2019 This show was so freaking hilarious that we still quote episode plots to each other all these years later. The pro critics totally dropped the ball on this one. See more 02/03/2019 Visually a delightful 80s nostalgia trip filled with neons, pastels and sharp animation, frequently supported by a great soundtrack, but the narrative material feels recycled and slightly too over the top, which is why none of the jokes are actually very funny... See more 03/30/2018 Yeah, yeah... i read THose rewievs, that dumb humor and coincidence with archer. i don't understand one - that's realy strong arguments for hating this series? i thing no. when i see moonbeam city, after long day of work, i can relax in this atmosphere of neon and 80's and laugh for, maybe, not intellectual, but funny jokes. And i realy delight this retrowave stile! that's unique! unique series! Peoples, what are you doing? that perfect! See more 11/15/2017 If I could give this show 1000 stars I would. It just wasn't directed toward the right audience. Stellar cast, hilarious writing, interesting plot lines. Is it ridiculous? yes, Is it also the best thing ever? Yes. Perfectly captures that 80's/early 90's vibe. I hope the people that got it canceled get rectal cancer. See more Read all reviews
