Summary
Exploding Kittens is a Rick And Morty-esque adventure series mimicking the game’s bright colors, cute but evil characters, and violence. Fans of the original may be disappointed by the lack of connection to its source material. The smarter, edgier stuff comes in the form of pop culture references integrated into the script.
It may be occasionally fun, but it’s hard to know who this adaptation is for. The writing lacks the bravery of other animated series. Instead of the fast-paced, lighthearted adaptation similar to the card game, Exploding Kittens feels like learning the rules itself.
