The Awesomes is charming, but your enjoyment of it may depend on how much you may already feel over-saturated with animation. Read full review

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. (Great voice cast, though.) Read full review

The stories aren’t quite as goofy as they could be. The series is clearly a labor of love for the creators. Still, the show has its wonderfully silly moments. Read full review

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. Read full review

It has some good jokes, but this overly familiar spoof lacks the strength to push the envelope. [2 Sep 2013]

Visually uninspired and stiffly animated, the show indulges in lots of talk and little action. Read full review

This show is an animated soap opera with super heroes. It is very funny and witty. The animation is not always on point but who cares it does not have to be. Enjoy the show for what it is. 20 minutes of animated fun.

Humor is a subjective thing so not everyone will find this humor appealing. If you like dry sarcastic witty humor then this is for you. I have watched all 10 episodes. I can say that it starts out really slow but gets better the further on I watched. The voice acting is serviceable but notHumor is a subjective thing so not everyone will find this humor appealing.

The voice acting is serviceable but not great, the animation is passable but nothing to jump at. However, the stories are well written the pacing of the plot is great, and the continuity of the story are cohesive and enjoyable to watch. I did enjoy this show. If there is a second season I will watch.… Expand

It can be funny but i'ts only when it's with the heroes, any other time it tries it just doesn't work, especially with the villain. But it's pretty entertaining and I do watch new episodes regularly.

Just not that funny at all. Was hoping for something funny from Seth Myers but this is not delivering. Just can't find anything all that original with this. Full disclosure though, I turned it off half way through the first episode.

It tries to be edgy and wacky, like some of crossbreed of Drawn Together and The Incredibles, but for all its gimmicks, it doesn't do any of them particularly well besides the inevitable failure of team-leader Prock.

More annoying than funny. I expected more from someone like Seth Myers. The writers seemed to confused between take every opportunity to be asinine instead of doing something actually creative and funny. Over-all very predictable, and insulting of my intelligence.
