Metalocalypse Season 2

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Metalocalypse Season 2 is available on and right now. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 220 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Mark Hamill — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Metalocalypse Season 2 is worth clearing space for. Metalocalypse Season 2 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. The second season of the animated show Metalocalypse originally aired on Adult Swim from September 23, 2007 to September 7, 2008 with 19 episodes. The show follows virtual death metal band Dethklok. The majority of the music featured this season was released on the 2009 album Dethalbum II. Mark Hamill and Victor Brandt lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2007. Metalocalypse Season 2 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Metalocalypse Season 2 is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Mark Hamill's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
