It's SO DIFFICULT to find stuff done like this that is not half-measured, watered down or censored to impotency.

This series is surreal horror in the vein of Cronenberg, Kafka and Burroughs, and it's done RIGHT.

The cast is SPECTACULAR, the effects are top notch and the overall design is perfect. Yeah, it's weird, really weird. But it's totally grounded in great dialog, a completely digestible story and a surreal mind bending plot.

If you're looking for PG screamfest, this isn't it. But this is SO much better than this sort of thing has been for years. And it does not fall off as it goes.

Eighty-six stars.

It seems that SO many people DEMAND animated shows to be EXACTLY what they expect, usually based on another show (Family Guy, Southpark, whatever) that they like.

Housebroken is....funny. It's not edgy, or crude or in your face. It's just standard issue, excellent voice actor funny.

You like pets and wants to see something funny, Housebroken will do. You want to force it into the mold of whatever else you liked, it probably won't.

Give it a fair-minded shot and you shouldn't be let down.

I didn't have high expectations for this. I admit it, I judged it on the title, and that was a mistake.

But it really, really develops as it goes along. Sure, you can say you've seen the genre before: secret church organization vs. demons on earth, and a science angle tying it all together....but I thought this take was pretty original. I don't expect everything I see to have Avengers Endgame special effects, but Warrior Nun does well for what it was working with.

Just give it a chance...like several episodes. It starts out pretty predictable (and for some reason has a love interest angle that literally goes NOWHERE after the first few episodes), but the longer it went, the better it got. And the season finale I did NOT see coming...and neither will you.

I'm looking forward to season 2...
