Our Take

We continue our coverage of Yolo: Rainbow Trinity by diving into the second half of the season of Michael Cusack’s house of pain and one of the things I’m becoming increasingly impressed by for this show is how present with contemporary themes the series seems to be despite the fact that this one takes a bit to animate. Everything from insults about aura and AI to satirical showcasing of the social media industry feels almost South Park-esque in how prescient the series’ dialogue is which is rather quite impressive.

Also impressive, the stellar art direction of this series and pretty much every show Mr. Cusack lays his hands on. Our family of houses was a lot of fun, the live-action music video was a bit off-putting, and the show’s propensity to move across different animation stylings, a common Hallmark trait of our show creator’s other efforts, is just so smooth that it’s unlike anything on TV that can even compare.

The show’s writing admits it’s cliches at times especially with some of the ancillary characters introduced for our trip but makes up for it with hilarious dialogue. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to check my house for eyes in the walls.
