More Critic Reviews for The Awesomes Season 1 All Critics (13) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (4) Even when dealing with a spy agency or a collection of otherworldly abilities, petty disagreements, tiny slip-ups and wordplay seem to always win out and generate the heartiest laughs. Feb 7, 2019 | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic It's cheeky parody/homage, exhibiting affection for comic books and other pulpy amusements, while maintaining such a zippy pace, there's no time to consider whether it hangs together. Or whether that matters. Jul 30, 2013 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic If comedy writers would step back and ask themselves if they have anything original to say before they commit to a project, that would really be awesome. Jul 31, 2013 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic As one would expect from a Seth Meyers cartoon, The Awesomes can be knowing and clever, with a positive attitude that skews a bit arch. Aug 1, 2013 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic The show's got moxie! Jul 30, 2013 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Diane Werts Newsday Top Critic The Awesomes might not be truly awesome yet, and it very well could turn into a waste of time. But, in the argot of magic, it could also reveal itself to be an underestimated misdirection as The Awesomes' story unravels and takes shape. Feb 7, 2019 | Full Review… Sean Fitz-Gerald Mashable A caper about inadequate superheroes, it has some good jokes, but this overly familiar spoof lacks the strength to push the envelope. Feb 6, 2019 | Full Review… Tom Gliatto People Magazine Created by comic pros Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker, The Awesomes is a superhero cartoon you'll want to keep to yourself rather than sharing with your kids. Aug 8, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Emily Ashby Common Sense Media The series is clearly a labor of love for the creators. Still, the show has its wonderfully silly moments. Aug 1, 2013 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald "The Awesomes" is charming, but your enjoyment of it may depend on how much you may already feel over-saturated with animation.
