Although this series is every bit as violent and crass as The Boys, the tone is somewhat different. And while characters from The Boys do appear, these stories are largely focused on new characters. For the most part, these are good things. However, the thing working against Diabolical is the anthology format. Though the individual stories work (I really enjoyed the Looney Tunes inspired ones), the constant animation and tone changes stopped me from getting truly settled in. With only eight episodes running between 10-15 min long, you can’t really complain, but this may be one of those series that’s better off not binged.
