QUENTIN
Agent Elvis probably won’t go down as the next great animated series for adults, but it certainly has enough positives to make it an entertaining watch. After taking a few episodes to find its stride, the needle drops, revisionist history, pop culture references, silky Texas drawl of Matthew McConaughey, and scene-stealing work from Don Cheadle make this more than just another 30-minute diversion. The cherry on top is the vivid and propulsive animation, not to mention Scatter, The King’s cocaine-addled monkey. Mileage may vary for non-Elvis fans, but for me, it was a great mixture of 60s lore, Archer, and Adult Swim’s Black Dynamite.
