Mulligan

Mulligan turns a scorched-earth premise into a playground for mundane political satire. By clearing the board, the series ignores the mechanics of a typical survival drama to focus on the absurdity of a small, unprepared group attempting to govern the wreckage of a modern superpower. The comedy thrives on the gap between the monumental task of rebuilding society and the petty, bureaucratic instincts of the people left in charge.

The animation style provides a grounded aesthetic that contrasts against the strange reality of an alien-occupied planet. Nat Faxon leads the ensemble through a landscape defined by past mistakes and an ongoing struggle to replicate the institutions that just failed their civilization. It is a show built on the logic that even after total annihilation, humans will prioritize committee meetings and status symbols over fundamental survival.
