This animated series, based on the 2009 film of the same name, features the exploits of the titular character, a 1970s renaissance man with a kung-fu grip, who doesn't always think before making decisions. His sidekick, Bullhorn, is the brains behind Black Dynamite's hard-hitting style. Cream Corn provides comic relief on the mean streets of Los Angeles, while attractive Honey Bee classes up the area. The half-hour series features the voices of a number of the actors who starred in the live-action film, including Michael Jai White in the title role.

David Downs San Francisco Chronicle 05/05/2020
Black Dynamite's producers clearly understand the show's young, male, irreverent Adult Swim demographic -- and they're serving the yucks up good and hard. Go to Full Review Kevin McFarland AV Club 07/15/2011
B-
It's certainly silly and clever, which will be enough for some. Go to Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist 05/05/2020
The show is just wall-to-wall hysterical, very foul-mouthed, and full of off-color humor that works whether you're a fan of blaxploitation or not. Plus, the animation is absolutely gorgeous. Go to Full Review Hunter Daniels Collider 05/05/2020
The tone is just right, playing things seriously with just enough cheesiness to make them even funnier. But, like a good improv act, no one ever negates the premise. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 07/15/2011
4/5
Irreverent and rampant in stereotypes but undeniably entertaining. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 10 10 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Lucifer M @RT37068049 05/30/2024 This adult animated series is just amazingly hilarious. Hands down one of Adult Swim’s best shows (among other great ones as well). The tongue-and-cheek satire, the animation and voice acting are all top notch especially the visually stunning animation. If you want to have a great time and are a big fan of shows like The Boondocks, then this is a series you do not want to miss out on since it’s very similar to Boondocks but instead of a modern take, you’re transported back to the crazy 70’s…..and in a roundhouse kicking style! See more Lisa S @RT58390500 04/17/2024 Hilarious show. This is satire done right. Smart, funny and entertaining See more 09/18/2020 Visually gorgeous, deceivingly clever, and easily one of the funniest animated series ever made. See more 03/21/2015 One of the best things I've ever seen.... Can't wait for season 2... Explicit but hilarious. Fantastic style and a clever weaving of contemporary cultural icons with their 1970s selves. Black Dynamite is an extreme anti-hero hero, and the writers revel in his flawed awsomeness with a sly wink. Highly recommended but definitely not for kids. See more 10/28/2014 Adult Swim's premiere season of the animated spinoff adaptation of Black Dynamite is funny, clever, well-voiced and nicely animated. It's the right amount of cheesy and action, building on the successful Blaxploitation formula of the original movie. See more Read all reviews
