Oh what a difference a generation makes. I remember when it was such a huge scandal to have God, The Devil, and Bob on NBC, and here we are on Netflix with a series that has a boardroom in Heaven vote to turn God into a cat, and make him spend time on earth, and God is voiced by Tom Ellis (Lucifer). Whoever made God, The Devil, and bob should pitch a revival.

The easy plot is that both God, and the daughter of the Devil are sent to earth as cats where they both interact with the same family, trying to have some metaphoric battle over humanity, which turns into a real battle. It’s another adult animation series, and unlike many, this one benefits heavily from viewing in order. The season finale really sets up what will be an interesting Season 2, and while the show didn’t always work for me, and not every joke landed, it is a lot stronger out of the gate than a lot of recent adult animation I’ve been watching.

Aside from the excellent voice cast, the writing really is mostly clever. There are so many little moments that I enjoyed a lot, like how they have a neighbor named Karen, who is “a bit much”, and so many others.

What I Look For In The Audio Description: Well, it is animated, which allows for a lot of things that would be next to impossible or really expensive to shoot live action. So, the attention to detail. plus, it is really fantasy based, and visual sight gag heavy. So, a lot of that has to land. It’s not the easiest show to narrate, as the dialogue is frequent, and there’s a lot going on. This is really where responsible narration comes into play, making sure that we are just picking up the overall vibe of the show, so that we as blind viewers are engaged enough to come back for more.

What It Does: The audio description, produced by International Digital Center, written by Liz Gutman, and narrated by Jamie Lemcheck, is very good. The final episode of the season features a battle with all these mythological figureheads, and along with that, lots of trademarked people show up, like the Michelin Man, Ronald McDonald, and others. And, instead of us getting narration to just describe them so we can play a guessing game, they all got described. There were also several moments where we wouldn’t get the joke without the visual humor being translated, and those land as well. Jamie Lemcheck is a perfect choice for this, as her upbeat approach to the narration is exactly what the show needs, reminding people this is a comedy, and you should be laughing.

Final Thoughts: A really strong audio description track by two superstars. Their work on that 90’s Show is thankless, as that show gives them very little to do, but their work here really highlighted their strengths, and the show was a fun and quick binge. It isn’t an interesting classic, but it is way better than at least 6 or 7 recent adult animation entries I’ve seen lately. It won’t be for everyone, but I could say that about a lot of adult animation shows nowadays that all seem to keep wanting to push the line further and further.

Final Grade: B+
