The concept is really good, putting a darker twist on fairy tales, but the execution is just meh. This show is so weird that I can't even fit it into my usual review format.
The art is really nice, and so is the voice acting, but I loathe the way the characters move. Unlike South Park, where it's like that on purpose, here it just seems like a way to cut corners.
There's also a lot of blood, gore, and gross-out, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's squeamish of those things. Then again, I'm pretty sure the creator of this show also worked on the infamous gross-out show King Star King.
I think this show would work better as a direct adaptation of the fairy tales aired in a primetime slot, making them as dark as they originally were, but with better animation, more believable characters, and less gross-out.
2018 and 2019 were such good years for adult animation, we got masterpieces like Primal. Final Space, and Tuca & Bertie. What the heck happened in 2020? The Midnight Gospel, Solar Opposites, and this show all were disappointing to me. Duncanville is alright but not the best thing ever. Hopefully Crossing Swords and Central Park are good.
