Netflix's AgentElvis doesn’t quite find its footing with comedy and is way too light on humor, with a devastatingly low laugh-to-gag ratio. Our review:
After almost four years in the pipeline, rock and roll’s first icon Elvis Presley is finally getting the small screen treatment with Netflix’s new raunchy, adult-animated comedy series Agent Elvis, premiering this weekend. But by no means is this colorful, glitzy 10-episode streaming romp starring the voice talent of Matthew McConaughey, the kind of world your grandparents once associated with Presley.
While it sounds like a funny joke lampooning celebrities, the caricature of Monroe’s sex appeal is tiresome and plays to one of the more offensive stereotypes of her legacy as she is an agent who sleeps with Russians to get secrets.
With Presley always dreaming of being a superhero from an early age, Priscilla honors that wish with a series that brings glitzy fun but falls flat in delivering its main entrée of comedy. Blending the appeal of Archer and Hit-Monkey, Agent Elvis is zany and over the top with its alternate-history mayhem that only animation can carry out effectively, but it’s really nothing more. There are no laugh-out-loud moments, no one-liners that will stick with you, and it’s actually really upsetting.
