B-
"Crossing Swords" has so much happening around its edges that it's almost more satisfying to watch all this debauchery on mute. Go to Full Review Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com 06/12/2020
But Crossing Swords doesn't just give the impression of being something of a relic. It's also a lazy one. Go to Full Review Charles Bramesco Guardian 06/11/2020
2/5
A smarter show would burrow into the disillusionment as a rookie squire learns his dream is rotten on the inside, but there's simply no time, what with all the circumcision gags that need to be made. Go to Full Review Sarah McMullan The Post NZ 05/23/2022
I really enjoyed this: the voice talent is spot on, and the writing, though coarse, is very witty. Here’s hoping season two arrives soon. Go to Full Review Tara Ariano Primetimer 08/12/2020
Occasionally, the character design is adorable: one is killed in a cursed iron maiden and returns as a classic white ghost with a sweet little face; if Hulu makes him into a toy, I will buy one. But generally it just looks cheap and jerky Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 08/05/2020

02/03/2022 Have drink, relax, turn off your brain and settle down for a funny stop motion comedy that may cover old ground but is still hilarious and sometimes surprising. See more 07/03/2021 Great animation but it has some of the worst writing I have ever heard in my entire life. Incredibly unfunny and crude for the sake of being crude. The only good thing this show did for me was make me appreciate the writing on better adult animated shows. See more 01/24/2021 critics are harsh af, but for us the show is fun, that's all that matters. See more 10/19/2020 They definitely could use some work in terms of storyline, jokes, and overall content but this was fun and a little bit off kilter from what we're being served in adult animation during the past few years. It is no ‘Robot Chicken' but I don't think it does not aspire to be, focusing on its own niche theme which I'm afraid will get old fast after the novelty dies but I will say it was fun while it lasted! See more 08/01/2020 Hilarious adult humor with just enough reference to highbrow culture, counterbalanced with mixed in the slapstick. See more 07/12/2020 Trash with no writing or even anything funny at all. See more Read all reviews
