Our Cartoon President

I am a big fan of almost anything Stephen Colbert does...and I am still miffed as to how he got involved with this. Maybe a matter of not being able to see the forest for the trees...this is almost unwatchable to be honest. Bottom line is that it is just NOT funny. Even though the art work is respectable (hence my rating), the sketches and dialogue is not imaginative. Full disclosure, I could not get through the first episode (and I really tried...it is painful to watch). How did they get this one so wrong??

Absolutely a waste of time! I was hoping for some genuine political satire, but this is obviously personal - and not funny.

Sometimes a show will be so pathetically bad that you can trace it directly back to a change of writers or producer influence...could someone post the name of the show this troupe did while Obama was President, so I can make a fair comparison?

Thank you.

But they really managed to hit it out of the park. They almost make Trump & Co. likable. The Don Jr, & Eric character are absolutely hysterical, and the likenesses of the clown car that is the Trump administration are spot on. If only reality was as silly and lighthearted as the animated version, but it would be impossible to make treason, money laundering and obstruction of justice funny.

I'd like to say upfront that I am neither a Republican or Democrat or even American and am highly critical of both parties, so my review is not biased. Anyway...

The caricatures of the politicians and news anchors and everybody else are fantastic, their facial animations are also on point, some of the voice actors as well are quite good.

If you're up-to-date with American politics you'll understand many of the references thrown out and find them amusing, whoever is writing this clearly keeps up with current events and knows the backgrounds of the people.

Which is why this show is a giant waste, because the satire is weak. There's nothing clever or insightful or remotely profound about the show. It's the kind of mockery anyone could make about these politicians. At least it's not overly obnoxious though, it's just 'meh'.

Honestly the most amusing parts of the show are the real aspects of these people that write themselves and not what the writers have brought.

I am not a big fan of animated shows, but this one is golden. Definitely watch it and have some fun.

The sad part is that you might be thinking in your head: "all of this can actually be true".
