After the legendary Mr. Awesome retires as leader of his superhero task force, his not-so-super son Prock must assemble a team of funny-if-flawed misfits to restore the group to its former glory.
Sure, The Awesomes might not be the go-to cartoon for smart knee-slappers, but that's probably not what it's going for, anyway. What it does do is give comic-book fans a cartoon to watch when they need a dose of high stakes and plenty of comic relief.
I enjoyed the season two premiere of Hulu's original series The Awesomes. The show, like its titular team, still felt a little cobbled together, but I think both are finally getting the hang of this superhero business.
