Good fun all the way. Good ending episode as well. :thumbsup_tone1:. Not everyone's cup of tea but for me it was very entertaining and fun to watch. Well worth a view. :thumbsup_tone1:
No idea who greenlit this piece of manure. Looks like someone watched a couple of bad action-comedy films and then tried to write one... I cannot think of one thing that is decent in this one - writing is really, really bad, music is generic, fight scenes are "fantastic" as in they are not related to reality at all :(
If this was a film it would be awful, but someone decided to stretch it to EIGHT episodes. If only it was semi-decent...
Edit:
One more thing, this show reminds me of Z Nation tv show, an Asylum production (so heavily B-class production).
The thing is, Z Nation might have had low budget and was campy but at least it was funny and it build an interesting world.
Obliterated is an action-comedy show and it does both of the genres poorly. I don't think I laughed once throughout all eight episodes.
If only there were SOME things in this show that they got right, but even the drug use is portrayed poorly - guy eats a guacamole bowl of LSD and shrooms and is not only perfectly lucid for HOURS but also when it hits he has one specific hallucination? Give me a break, even wikipedia entries for drugs would get you closer to truth than this show's screenwriters lol.
There's a lot of tits and dick in this show, so there's that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
either you love this show...or you think it's stupid and hate it...there is no in between...I love it...reminds me of old action movies from the 90s
This was actually quite funny. I Suggest, brain in neutral, relax and enjoy the ride. :grinning:
It's just a comedy/spy series, check your brain at the door and have some laughs. This show doesn't take itself seriously and you should too. I had a fun time watching it.
I liked it. It's basically the definition of dumb fun. If you're able to turn your brain off and go with it you'll have a good time.
This was so incredible and so much fun! But I guess most of the people will hate it, so I love it even more.
This is like a modern version of Lethal Weapon on nearly every kind of upper known the man :) Very much enjoyed the first few episodes. Sure its all over the top. Like.... by a lot. But in a fun way. Just dont take it all too serious. The series doesnt take themselves very serious either :)
Through the opening scenes I grew cautiously optimistic this series, though mediocre, might be enjoyable enough to watch once and probably never again. There were some decent-looking bikini girl extras at the pool party. A mediocre hot chick in the starring role. Mediocre action. Mediocre comedy. The first nearly thirty minutes were pretty damn tolerable for Netflix content.
Then they realized they were below their woke per minute quota and needed to catch up so we got:
• Ridiculous feminist fantasy: Small woman takes down very big soldier guy with her trickery. Men are so inferior, obviously.
• Immediately followed by walking in on a gay bj
• Immediately followed by sex stereotype reversal: Hot player guy can’t have casual sex without expressing his feewings. In this case, needing to profess his love for a woman he’s known for a whole day or two while on a mission and having very little interaction.
I'm leaving some things out that on their own aren't a big deal but together with the above are additional straws on the proverbial camel's not-yet-broken back.
The few remaining minutes of the first episode were unremarkable. It sets up the plot for there to be more episodes.
Ten or so minutes into the second episode I was bored, so I grabbed my iPad to pursue other interests and distractedly listened with occasional glances at the tv. This is how I consume most 2020s content because it's just that good. (No, I don't pay for it.) I went through another 3 or 4 episodes that way until I went to bed. So, I made it around half way through the show. I have no urge to watch or listen to the rest.
I didn't expect there'd be a bunch of gratuitous man ass and penis shots. I’m now assuming gay men are the target audience.
Nothing about C Thomas Howell’s character enhances the show. I'm all for inappropriate humor. This demonstrates that sometimes inappropriate humor is just stupid, not funny.
The gremlin thing was funny enough at first. Soon it was as funny as hearing the same joke a dozen times. There's an obvious point in the show where it should have been the last of it.
Better than I was expecting as early rating over on IMDB was lower than my usual threshold when deciding what to watch.
Team America meets The Hangover for a rollicking good time in Las Vegas. It’s lots of fun with a few hilarious moments and good action sequences.
Worth a watch.
I have no idea how this even got past screen testing
I believe that's the reason why Netflix foolishly decided to cancel it, as this series didn't meet their woke standards. It's truly disappointing, as it was a genuinely enjoyable and captivating series with an exceptional cast. It had the potential to become Netflix's own version of The Boys, a fearless and humorous series packed with audacious jokes. Additionally, the female characters were exceptionally attractive, which is quite uncommon in today's woke American shows.
it was very easy to predict and ofc so many things were impossible but... i had fun! it was entertaining and almost every character was likeable. I don't like comedies and this gave me a little hope in comedy department. Definitely didn't think im gonna watch past 1 ep and I watched it in one sitting.
This series is a blast! :rocket: The characters, especially the main girl, the tech guru, and the blonde bombshell, are total eye-candy. Hoping for a second season; Netflix, don't miss out on this gem! Reminds me of The Boys series - hilarious, daring, no holding back, and I'm all for it. Plus, there's some spicy nudity, making it even more awesome. Keep the excitement coming! :boom:
2/10 terrible
I got to halfway through episode three and gave up….
Episode one was okay and you spend the first half getting to understand the humour of the show, once you’ve done that it’s good.
Episode two is as enjoyable and you start to have hope that this might go somewhere, but at the same time doubt starts to creep in.
In the most part because of the constant full nudity.
After the orgy scene in episode three, I switched off….
This is a full on adult comedy without any woke garbage, which is a great thing.
But the over the top nude scenes just don’t need to be so blatant, I’m far from being a prude, but you can show this adult comedic sexualised scenes without showing everything and not lose any of the shock and humour from the scene….
This is pure titillation for the sake of it and what should have been a good adult themed comedy/action show, devolves into pure soft porn……
The team partied too much and got high after sorted out a fake bomb. Later, the real deal was coming up. It's entertained all the way. don't think too much throughout the series and you'll find so much fun. Also I love the ending although Hagerty's entrance at the last minute is a bit too casual. I like the movie's editing. The combination of music and the scene, it's just my cup of tea.
Made it 1/4 way into second episode, I was able to look past the atrocious action scene..NODS are not worn in the daytime..to see through smoke, the lead "commando" went into battle with 1 pistol magazine..I was able to look past the set up for the premise, military personnel drinking and taking every drug. I was able to look past the first, and second I'm gay scene, I could not make it past the 4th swinging dick scene. Netflix has become way over sexualized, male nudity, agenda driving drivel. I really want my wife to finish the Crown, so we can cancel this subscription.
:heart:x7
This was a whole lot of fun. There was some seriously grade-A-prime comedy in this show. The entire concept was unique and executed quite well. It's basically a mix of Hangover (2009) and any Mission Impossible movie. It's almost a parody, but it's not. It is however, quite entertaining and just fun to watch.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Good fun all the way. Good ending episode as well. :thumbsup_tone1:. Not everyone's cup of tea but for me it was very entertaining and fun to watch. Well worth a view. :thumbsup_tone1:
This was actually quite funny. I Suggest, brain in neutral, relax and enjoy the ride. :grinning:
I don’t mind a stupid show as long as it’s fun. But this wasn’t fun. Just gross on so many levels.
When I began watching this, I thought it was a horribly written, poorly directed low-budget show.
Then I began to realize that either it is a parody, or, if you watch it in the -context- of a parody, it's absolutely hilarious.
If you only watch the first episode, you'll probably hate it. If you don't take yourself too seriously -- and continue watching with an eye for humor, you may really enjoy yourself.
Seriously, only March, but this has to be THE most cringeworthy series ever, Netflix at its worst. It’s 20 times worse than Bravo Two Zero v and with every last scrap of credibility removed. It also supports the FULL Netflix pc checklist:
Attractive, no good at parties, bitch boss
Hispanic lesbian sniper
Tee-total Asian helo pilot
OAP wannabe cool EOD guy that does his job listening to music
Pair of male black / white beefcakes with way more braun than brains. Oh yeah, the black guy is gay or bi and the white wannabe way to cool dude is a momas boy.
Nerdy tough talking chick tech girl
It’s totally cringe worthy in every single way. Crack SF team happily doing MDMA at a party that they threw using government money, way too much testosterone hose down and in the absence of any story let’s just thrown a bunch of rock tracks at everything oh yeah, let’s have everyone screw each other at the party and then feel bad about it, but polish it off with a bunch of double entendres porn jokes and then let’s have a top secret intelligence meeting on Zoom. SF / CIA elite, “The best of the best” as the President declares seriously, you wouldn’t this bunch of jokers in charge of an ice cream store that you wanted to go broke.
They did manage to tick several other boxes too though
Second rate actors
Third rate acting
Rubbish script
Zero depth to any character
Rubbishy unfunny jokes
Cliche use
F bombs used as failed humour substitute
Style over substance
Way too much testosterone
Yep, this is where uber cool falls FLAT on its face.
It’s hard to fathom what the intended audience is for this garbage?
The USA chant was a bit much. Ava should had shown us her tts. Lana's were the bombs!!!
I don’t know what I just watched. But I guess it was an entertaining time waste. However it was 4 episodes too long. Didn’t need 8 episodes. Anyway I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re looking to waste 8 hours of life on mindless entertainment.
like others said love or hate it. I loved it. Initially I they finally made something like the show fast lane if anyone remembers this.
I loved especially the first episodes but it kind of losses that initial appeal as the snow progresses . it has been just a long time, where something just crazy like this was released. making fun of everything around a quite good in my opinion 24like script. The show is a basket case, it has action, it has comedy , it has mockery, it has pretty people, (ava is pretty and nicely dressed) and in my opinion it was not cheap to produce despite appearances. I actually found myself laughing quite a lot in the first half of the season which was the best part.
My only negative complain is the music. it felt bad, out of touch and like it was used a carpet for radio show. it had no connection with what was happening. fast lane was awesome on this part.
if you want to criticize this based on seriousness then you are watching the wrong show. it's not a 24 because it's not as serious as 24. if you want action, pretty people, craziness and braindead entertainment then this is it. You won't regret this.
Do not watch episode 5 unless you want to watch at least the tip of a very thin dagger be inserted into a penis. I don't know how far it goes and I don't care.
Up until that point the show was okay if you can turn your brain off, but then there's too many sets of bad guys to keep them all straight. Definitely has a hangover kind of feel to it. Don't watch any of the episodes while you eat.
It is way over the top, with enough gore and nudity to make Spartacus proud. Think of it as a more goofy version of Strike Back. Don't take it seriously (it is not meant to be) and, as long as (male) nudity doesn't scare you, it will be entertaining from beginning to end.
The glorifying of drug use was a bit iffy for me, but, apart from that blip, I found it enjoyable.
I don't comment or review often but wow, this is so bad I had to say something :joy: some parts have a good production, like some scenes looks great but then you see awful cgi blood with "tactical" non-sense. And the plot, excuse me, what plot? Is like they were shooting first thing that come to mind, like yeah yeah some drugs here, a tit there, ahh yes there is some evil thing going on because I donno reasons, oh right, they took a shit ton of drugs, maybe should hallucinate? Good enough, send it.
All I'm saying, is a comedy/action, I never expect anything from comedy/action, but damn even then I feel deeply disappointed
Entertaining action series with a mix of comedy.

Story Synopsis: Take the concept for "24" for spies, multiply the leads by 7 and divide the time frame by 4, put that 6 hour target on steroids, and get all the leads with different problems to deal with a "Hangover" type arc... and the result is this, "Hot Mess"...
When some people want to enjoy a 1.5 hour movie that makes no logic or sense, but is still fun, they'd recommend to leave your brains out of the theatre and enjoy it... this is a similar caper but instead of being an hour and half, it is a 7 hour long marathon... if you have it in you to binge watch the entirety by keeping your brains out of the watching experience... then yes, it is a kind of fun that might grow and you might find it enjoyable... this is not for those who are looking for a story arc in the 7 hours...
This is not intended to be Shakespeare, and the dialogue is sometimes cringe... but the makers intend each and every frame to be pure-unadulterated-unapologetic fun and the intended audience will like it... personally I feel that anyone that can cross the 3 episode threshold, for character building, and decide to keep their brains out, will find it a good timepass...
The actors are all extremely irritating to begin with, but being to grow on you and become tolerable, once you are okay with the plot... Shelly Hennig, playing "Ava Winters", reminds me of Keri Russell, on almost every frame...
