But truth be told, one of the show’s strengths is that it doesn’t demand too much from the viewer.īeing built on a pile of horrible future/post apocalypse tropes allows the viewer to easily dip into the series, by placing familiar references and genre conventions all over the show. The plot really thrusts you into it, so you have to learn as you’re watching. And Jep, drunkard and multitool for comedic situations as needed. Xanthena and Tetsuo, your quirky bar staff. You’ve got your lead guy and girl in Danny Doom and Lhandi, your relatively normal leads. The crew is pretty fun, if not a bit archetypical. Not too bad an idea for a ten minute cartoon.

In a world populated by mutants, marauders and monsters, the show is centered around the Oasis Bar, a giant tavern/tank that roams the wastelands juxtaposing the nightmarish hellscape of a desert apocalypse with the inconveniences of managing a bar. Sounded exactly like the sort of thing you’d see on Adult Swim back in the day, so I went in with a pretty open mind.īuilt off the back of a successful Kickstarter, Doomlands is series’ creator Josh O’Keefe’s passion project. Post apocalyptic setting with a bunch a freaks running the joint. A good comedy trailer is hard to fashion and I didn’t want anything coloring my perception of the show before I could give it a fair shake. But really its not like Quibi’s around to complain.Īnyway, I was completely unaware of Doomlands when I first heard of it, and once I knew of its existence, I intentionally didn’t watch any trailers.

Initially commissioned by Quibi for it’s “on-the-go” streaming service, Roku snapped up it’s library and is billing them as their own original programming. Case in point, I had no clue there were such things as Roku Originals or that they even had a cartoon coming up on their docket. With the streaming landscape being the behemoth that it is, I sometimes forget how many services are getting in on the game. Danny Doom and his crew of oddities run bar in a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of violence, mayhem, comedic situations and weirdos at every turn.
