Mulligan: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Animated sci-fi comedy created by 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Robert Carlock
Year: 2023
Certificate: 12
Bronzed buff action hero types are forever saving the world from alien invasion in the realms of science-fiction, but what happens next? That's what this energetic and inventive animated series sets out to discover as muscly grenade-throwing action man Matty Mulligan (voiced by Nat Faxon) is made US president in the aftermath of a failed invasion. He may have been able to blow up an extraterrestrial fleet, but is he really the guy to lead the tattered survivors of humanity forward, rebuild the food supplies and, erm, reboot the Fast & Furious franchise?
It's fun finding out as this absurd sitcom in the vein of American Guy - penned by 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Robert Carlock (Fey also lends her voice to the show) - continues to mess around gleefully with post-apocalyptic cliches in its second batch of ten episodes. (Two series)
