If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, DuckTales is available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus and fuboTV right now. 3 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. With 313 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. David Tennant sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

DuckTales is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate DuckTales from the crowd. The adventures of billionaire Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, their famous uncle Donald Duck, pilot extraordinaire Launchpad, Mrs. Beakly, Webby and Roboduck. Adventures and hidden treasures are everywhere, in their hometown Duckburg and all around the world. David Tennant and Danny Pudi lead a cast that never overplays a joke. The series ran for 3 seasons (2017–2021), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and DuckTales holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

DuckTales is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. The tonal similarities to Darkwing Duck are real, though DuckTales carves out its own identity quickly. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. David Tennant sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

DuckTales wrapped up in 2021, created by Francisco Angones and Matt Youngberg — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
