2.5/5
An ambitiously gorgeous yet empty distraction that's more family-friendly than its source material. Go to Full Review
Kambole Campbell Polygon 02/15/2022
The series is seemingly content to just be the kind of show where something qualifies as a joke if it’s said loudly enough. Go to Full Review

6.5/10
The Cuphead Show Season 1 delivers a uniquely presented series, whose star and humor I found to be hit or miss. But, given how short the series runtime is, if you find the premise, or even just the unique visual style intriguing... Go to Full Review

3/5
Despite its frenetic and mostly shallow characters, this charming cartoon accomplishes the formidable goal of making a 90-year-old animation style fresh again. Go to Full Review

See more BlueTop World b @RT52493902 Jul 18 Yes yes yes yes yes yes See more Sebastian T @RT92637413 05/26/2025 This show is well animated and takes creative freedoms with its 1940's looking animation, but this show lacks a plot that helps reel you in, but makes up for it in looks and feels See more Aayan I @TheMovieGuy199 04/07/2025 The Cuphead show season one is actually pretty good. some of the episodes were not that good, but I was still kept entertained. this is a great adaptation of the video game, Cuphead, in my opinion. the art style was really good and wasn't that surprising. overall, if you love the video game Cuphead, you will love this show, for me, 7.5/10. See more Maree R @RT61479977 01/26/2025 Maybe this show destroyed the original game when the show released in my opinion also PLEASE don’t burn my house down. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 01/23/2025 A decent video game adaptation that’s hampered by the lack of stakes, action, and crazy animated transformations from the game, but still carries on with its old school visual charm and its likable cast of characters that the show breathes new life into with its original script and solid voice casting. The humor is admittedly hit or miss, but luckily the misses are rather tame and the hits are good enough to make the show worth a watch. I’ll admit, I’m kind of disappointed that the show deviates from the game’s gripping action-packed premise, but I respect that this show is doing its own thing with its more episodic and comedic format. I just hope we can build to a larger story with some more action in the later seasons. But for season one, I still had a good time and I’m glad that I can watch Cuphead’s beautiful old school animation without the need to play an insanely difficult boss fight. See more Read all reviews
