Where: Amazon Prime
What: Series, 8 episodes, 46 mins.
When: Now, new season in 2022
Genre: Animation
Why you should watch: This troubled superhero story, more Marvel vibe than DC, features animation that mixes a low-tech, “flat” look of ’70s Spiderman or ’80s “battlin’ bots” shows with depth of field and dynamic backgrounds that are very much 21st century. Blood, guts, foul language and name checking Naomi Klein, Margaret Atwood and Fourth Wave feminism all root Invincible in some kind of present day infested with reptilian aliens and legions of complicated superheroes. With A-list vocal talents including J. K. Simmons, Sandra Oh, Seth Rogan, Jon Hamm and Mahershala Ali there’s more to Invincible than is immediately apparent.
