The show is mostly good, but with some weaknesses towards the end. It is basically The Suicide Sqaud but with monsters. Even right down to Rick Flag having a dad who barely looks any older than him and has the same personality. But that's fine, as it is fun and the characters are good. It has some great action sequences with lots of blood and death, if you're into that. What it really excels at are montages set to eastern european-sounding pop songs (I don't know anything about music but I liked them), there is about one an episode and they're absolutely insane. The one with Frankenstein stalking the Bride for 200 years was a highlight. Speaking of, David Harbour is so good as Frankenstein that you can forget for a while that the character is completely evil and kills dozens of innocent people for almost no reason. Indira Varma was great as the Bride too. I loved G.I. Robot and was happy he was repaired at the end. Where I think the show falters is in the last couple of episdoes. Flag has been the main character (or co lead with The Bride) for most of it, but then takes a backseat after Clayface breaks his spine. And then it turns out Flag was wrong about literally everything and has been totally played at all turns by the hot evil princess. I'm not even saying that's a bad choice, but we don't see him reckoning with it at all as he barely appears in the last episode. The part with the Bride killing the princess feels rushed and the whole thing with Clayface is very contrived. I also wasn't really a fan of how emotionally manipulative the finale was with regards to Nina: showing her tragic backstory (did they really have to kill her dad like that?) then just violnetly killing her too with no hope for resurrection. Gunn can be a bit grimdark like this sometimes. But, overall, it was good and funny and very well animated.
