After being sent into the future by evil wizard Aku, young samurai Jack makes a quest to return to the past and undo the destruction caused by the wizard.

"Samurai Jack" was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, who had previously created "Dexter's Laboratory," one of Cartoon Network's first original series.

Artful to the point of witty abstraction... Combine this with the lovely watercolor-style backgrounds and the show's minimal use of dialogue, and Samurai Jack becomes a beautiful, sometimes devilishly scary, dream of a cartoon. Go to Full Review Michael Drucker IGN Movies 08/17/2018

In a way, Jack embraces the better elements of Western and Eastern animation style while trying its hardest to abandon the clichés. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/29/2021 A better sophomore season for Samurai Jack that features stronger writing, and predictably advanced animation. As with the first year, the storylines tend to be juvenile, but the show is more appealing to adult audiences through its varied backgrounds. Lifting inspiration from numerous different cultures, it's always a delight to see what kind of environment Samurai Jack will find himself in each week. Highlights this year include an underground society that allows for a most whimsical game of cat-and-mouse, and a battle with Spartan warriors that is essentially an adaptation of Frank Miller's 300 (yes, it did come before the live-action film, and is arguably truer to the source material). The scripts are better this year too, and the writers often mine great humor when they concentrate on Jack's alienation in the world/time he's in, perhaps most gainfully so in the finale which showcases Jack's hilarious attempts to adapt to new footwear. Samurai Jack's status as a kid show does negate some of its intended drama, as the show often awkwardly tip-toes around the subject of death (i.e. Jack coming upon a decimated village of "robots"), but at its best the show sublimely balances the cartoony antics of American animated series, with the more pronounced style of anime.
