Time Squad is currently streaming in Australia on HBO Max, and its 6/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who have already found it know. 2 seasons that reward every hour invested. That rating comes from 42 viewer scores — enough to represent a genuine consensus rather than a handful of enthusiasts. The availability across streaming platforms means you can start tonight without hunting for a disc or a dodgy stream. Pamela Adlon is the obvious draw, but once you are in, it is the writing and the ensemble that keep you watching. If it has been sitting on your watchlist untouched, there is no better time to finally start it.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Time Squad from the crowd. Time Squad is an American animated television series created by Dave Wasson, following the adventures of a trio of hapless "time cops", who travel back in time attempting to correct the course of history. The series ran on Cartoon Network from June 8, 2001, to November 26, 2003, airing 26 episodes in total. Wasson described the series as "a C-average student's approach to history." Pamela Adlon and Rob Paulsen lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2001–2003), 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 Time Squad holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. It earns every laugh across its entire run — no coasting on goodwill. The comedy comes from character rather than situation, which means it holds up on rewatch in a way that pure farce never does. Pamela Adlon sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. If Fish Hooks is already in your rotation, Time Squad fits naturally alongside it.
