The Telegraph Benji Wilson

Mar 17, 2023

It’s the kind of thing that could easily come across as smart-arsed, an idea dreamt up by a couple of the many Hollywood big shots who are Elvis fans as they supped energy drinks on private jets. Yet Agent Elvis is, in the round, a blast for the viewer too. The steadying hand of Mike Arnold, a long-time writer on the excellent Archer, keeps things on an even keel. Read full review

The central voices are uniformly delightful, but particular praise must go to Cheadle, who practically sings his dialogue and has sharp comic timing that brings the best out of even the silliest punchlines. Read full review

McConaughey’s smooth Southern drawl is the perfect fit for Presley, the animation is fluid and attractive, and the laughs come at you quickly. It’s a raucous good time, and deserves a good, old-fashioned try – even by suspicious minds. Read full review

On visual strength alone, this would be an easy recommendation, if only it were more consistently funny and had a more fitting lead voice actor. As is, it’s still a pretty good time despite some cringy gags. Read full review

“Agent Elvis” succeeds more as a curiosity than a comedy, which is to say, I found it only occasionally funny — blood splatter doesn’t do it for me, I confess — but generally interesting, if only to see what scenes and references might turn up next. ... The series looks good, especially in its cartoonification of Elvis, all midcentury swooping lines and angles. (Robert Valley designed the character, and fashion designer John Varvatos received a screen credit for his wardrobe.) McConaughey’s performance, which is more McConaughey than Presley, is like honey on the ear. Read full review

No matter how many stars you pack in, the amount of cool Easter eggs dropped into the series, and the most, coolest soundtrack from Presley’s nearly 25-year musical career juxtaposed to fiery action scenes that appeal to the TikTok generation, these elements are not enough to save the show’s uneven blend of silliness and satire.

As ideas go, though, this one feels too out-there for its own good. The streaming service couldn’t help falling in love with its potential and promotability, but not to be cruel, they probably should have labeled this pitch “Return to sender.” Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An insult to the King. Elvis would have loved a show where he was secretly playing an agent at the hieght of his career. But not this violent foul mouthed garbage. Presley loved God apple pie and mom. He would have hated this.… Expand

Beautiful art direction. Some great nuance and grit in the animation and character design.
Very little to enjoy in the extremely linear plot and the dialogue is rambling and one note.

There's almost nothing in the script that gives each character a unique voice and because of this there's no interplay and humour.
Mike Arnold is the "Archer Writer" that the publicity makes such noise about. Unfortunately his involvement with Archer spans only a handful of episodes, after the show dropped off in quality in season 4, onwards, so perhaps not the stamp of quality the showrunners would like us to think.
Conceptually interesting but unfortunately a sad indictment of how studios think they can churn out bland content that will be eaten up, simply because it has a few big names attached to it and bears a vague resemblance to something else that was once popular.
It makes me wonder how many incredibly talented people with new and interesting concepts for shows were knocked back, simply because a spreadsheet suggested this bilge would work.… Expand

So pretend you are Lisa Marie Presley, have seen "Archer", got really high one night and then and think to yourself: "Hmmm, that Archer series is super fun.

Wait, what if I put my dad in there, pitch this to Netflix and they pay some A-List voice talent - can I cash in big$ and make myself relevant somehow?" - What do you think would happen? Well, nothing good.

It's a jumbled mess, pretending to have the same style as the Archer crew pulled off - but sans the humor... actually sans any detectable humor.

It's neither a smart, nor a fun show - why the hell Elvis is in there outside of someone with the name "Presley" getting some dough, is beyond me. They could've put Joey Baloney in there and it would've probably been way more edgy.

Netflix's decision to fund this mumbo jumbo is just one more reason to subscribe to your local library and read a good book, or either cut the NF sub to let them know they're on the way to quickly become a true trash streaming service canceling good shows in favor of things that make you say "Why did this happen?"… Expand
