Is it worth starting?
This is 11 seasons deep — English comedy, leaning animation, not one for younger kids. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.
Don't watch this if…
- you want something that ends tonight — there are 11 seasons of it
- you're watching with family — it's certified TV-MA
- Why
- Currently 7.6/10 from 595 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
A series of pop-culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character was an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode.
