	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Robinson AV Club	"[It] stands with the best of Marvel’s TV series (...) The story and character beats keep the viewer emotionally invested."	POS
United States	Kristen Reid Paste Magazine	"Visually stunning and surprisingly gory, 'Hit Monkey' takes full advantage of its animation."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"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"	NEU
United States	Siddhant Adlakha IGN	"[It] turns obscure comic oddities (...) into fun and meaningful leads (...) The series ultimately works, even if it stumbles along the way."	POS
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"'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."	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"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"	NEG
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"One of the better-animated offerings from the new regime at Marvel Studios in charge of television projects. The series has some solid twists and character reveals that definitely should earn it a second season"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[It] looks like it’ll give fans of the comic character a good story, and Sudeikis puts in a good performance as Bryce."	POS
United States	Charles Barfield The Playlist	"A prime example of a show that has all the makings of a good time, with a ridiculous, borderline silly plot and a talented cast and crew to bring it to life, but somehow everything is botched along the way"	NEG
