    Don't listen to the other reviewer

    This show is an exaggeration of black culture in the 70's, which was notoriously misogynistic and homophobic. The writers aren't going to rewrite history so certain groups don't get offended. It quite literally is indiscriminate in its offensiveness, and everybody's balls get busted at one point or another. If you can't handle that, watch a different show. This show has incredibly vibrant and aesthetically pleasing animation, its an interesting and fresh take on the blaxploitation genre, and is easily one of the funniest and most ridiculous shows I've ever seen.

    Misogyny Galore

    This would be a laugh out loud and imaginative show were it not for the constant, insulting, degrading treatment of women. Every woman is either "bitch", "ho", or just an old woman and still called a gender insulting name. You wanna curse? Fukkit. Go 'head. You wanna poke fun? Be my guest - but make it even. I'm tired of a small group of slovenly men ruining what good be great for everyone. If it weren't for that, I'd give this show a solid nine, maybe even ten. The puns and word play and twisting of pop culture are outstanding. Take anything from your childhood and watch this show twist it into hilarity. Cherished popstars aren't safe either (nor should they be really). This could be a really great show but as it is you have to turn off a part of your brain (the one that says all genders and sexual orientations are human too and deserve respect). That's really disappointing. And it's certainly not dynamite.

    Not funny

    First off, I LOVE the movie. One of the funniest things ive ever watched. This is terrible though. Boring, rehashed plots (Black Jaws, Black Warriors etc.) The joke is... They're black. They take every popular black joke or pop culture reference, from the history of black comedy and pound it into the ground a million times (Im Rick James B***h (LOLOLOLOL), Everything Richard Pryor ever said, Michael Jackson used to be black LOLOLO). Not funny. Not original.

    One of my favorite shows on the Adult Swim Lineup....

    One of my favorite shows on the Adult Swim Lineup; the series has some of the best animation (which I believe compliments the 70's style era very well) and hilarious dialog (again, with that 70's flavor. Can you dig it?).

    I'll have to rent the live action movie one of these days but I enjoy re-watching the season one episodes. I'm very excited that the series has been renewed for a second season! Its epic, all of it is epic; Michael Jai White is EPIC!

    My top 3 Adult Swim shows: 1. Black Dynamite 2. Venture Brothers 3. China Illinois

    Phenomenal...

    Black Dynamite is pure hilarity. I agree that if you liked the movie, you will love the animated series. It's well written and beautifully drawn for a captivating and gut busting series. From an artist's standpoint, the dynamic angles and figures and bold color tones and lines instantly satisfy you visually. The characters are perfect and each fit their roles nicely. A sense of humor is required though. If you're uptight and can't laugh in the face of racism, than don't bother watching the series. Its satire engulfs how foolish stereotypes are and incorporates celebrity guests to add to each episode's flare. Hands down an awesome series that literally makes me lol every time. Can't wait to see more!
