Critics' reviews

"[It] stands with the best of Marvel’s TV series (...) The story and character beats keep the viewer emotionally invested."

Stephen Robinson: AV Club
"Visually stunning and surprisingly gory, 'Hit Monkey' takes full advantage of its animation."

Kristen Reid: Paste Magazine
"The first five episodes are marked by unremarkable premise-setting and an approach to Japanese culture limited to one-dimensional characters and a barely considered backdrop. The final five episodes are much better"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] turns obscure comic oddities (...) into fun and meaningful leads (...) The series ultimately works, even if it stumbles along the way."

Siddhant Adlakha: IGN
"'Hit-Monkey' is a fun ride and if you’re sold after the first 3 or so episodes, you’re bound to find a lot to like here – even if the humour is a bit hit or miss at times."

Greg Wheeler: The Review Geek
"There are precious few points over its 10-episode season that don’t feel cobbled together from other sources, wholly indebted to its influences, or making feeble attempts at catering its story to an angsty audience"

Steve Greene: IndieWire
"[It] looks like it’ll give fans of the comic character a good story, and Sudeikis puts in a good performance as Bryce."
