Full disclosure: even though I watched Hit-Monkey: Season One, it was way back in 2021, so I only remember broad brush strokes, such as it’s about an assassin monkey and his ghost mentor voiced by Jason Sudeikis. That’s about it, so I came into Season Two pretty cold. That notwithstanding, Season Two is a terrific surprise. Don’t let the Marvel branding fool you, either. This is as violent, bloody, and R-rated as a Tarantino movie, but it also boasts well-balanced humor and genuine emotion built on incredible character depth. Coupled with striking anime-meets-Archer animation and on-point vocal performances, you’ve got something that rivals X-Men ’97.
