Dorohedoro has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Netflix and Crunchyroll, and in the US on Netflix and Hulu. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Reina Kondo — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Dorohedoro is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Dorohedoro land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Amnesiac Caiman seeks to undo his lizard head curse by killing the sorcerer responsible, with his friend Nikaido's help. In the Hole, that's a threat. Between them, Reina Kondo and Wataru Takagi carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It ran for 2 seasons (2020–2026), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Dorohedoro holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Dorohedoro is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Darwin's Game is the obvious comparison, but Dorohedoro earns its own place alongside it. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Reina Kondo's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
