Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 43 /100

Farzar generated highly polarized reactions from critics, standing as an intentionally absurd adult animated comedy from the creators of Brickleberry and Paradise PD. Viewers looking for mindless, boundary-pushing humor found plenty to enjoy in its gory sci-fi chaos.

Favorable reviews embraced the show's outrageous and wonderfully weird tone, praising its willingness to turn every on-screen element into a joke. Outlets highlighted its fun references to '80s sci-fi staples such as He-Man, Flash Gordon, Star Wars, and Aliens, considering it an easy, hilarious binge-watch for fans of irreverent humor.

Conversely, harsh detractors panned the series for delivering low-brow comedy built almost entirely on shock value. Critics argued that the show tried desperately to imitate superior series like Rick and Morty and Futurama while lacking any of their clever writing, resulting in unlikable characters and failed jokes.

“Netflix's Farzar is One of the Worst Animated Shows in Years”

“an outrageous, hilarious, weird, sci-fi animated comedy series”

“It feels like it wants to be Rick and Morty, but what it delivers feels like someone made an AI watching Rick and Morty”

“The series is ripe with nostalgic touches reminiscent of 80s sci-fi like He-Man or Flash Gordon.”

Why fans love it

Farzar leans into the absurdity of space exploration through a lens of biting adult animation. The series centers on a sheltered prince leaving his protected dome to confront the reality of an alien-infested wasteland. It treats the familiar setup of planetary defense as a platform for chaos rather than a straightforward heroic journey.

The comedy relies on high-energy interactions within an ensemble cast that includes Lance Reddick. The production maintains a consistent pace, prioritizing frantic encounters and grotesque humor over traditional sci-fi tropes. By focusing on the tension between a naïve leader and a crew navigating the threat of creatures interested in either extinction or a meal, the show carves out a distinct tone within the genre.
