Skull Island (Season 1, 2023) - 2/5

This show has some great ideas in it, but the characters are too bland and irritating, getting in the way of the impact of the natural mood of the setting. The action and horror are undercut by aloof, wisecracking teenagers the story centers around.

Closest comparison: It’s like Kong: Skull Island by way of a cross between Venture Bros. and Velma (2023).

Setting: Adventure
Plot: Horror
Tone: Comedy
