Because I'm still on a Suds kick, I sat and watched Hit-Monkey, and it's a weird show. Honesty, Jason playing a bisexual assassin who becomes a ghosty, that magically knows how to speak monkey, and basically gives a running commentary for half the show, is wonderful and I fucking love it. Bryce is such a dumbass and funny but somehow pairs well with Monkey (who is the "straight man" to Bryce's funny man) to create a unique buddy comedy style vengeance show with a fair amount of blood and violence.
There is a political and crime thread weaving it all together. Crooked cops and politicians, and a lot of yakuza influence all mixed together in a nice package, that does resolve itself by the end, which also didn't leave me disappointed.
Fortunately, it got a season 2, and it's coming out later this year (yay). Because I want more Bryce and Monkey being a chaotic duo who somehow manage to get stuff done. (But also, I just like listening to Jason talk. He has a nice voice to listen to even when he's saying something stupid). Bryce is essentially the mouthpiece for Monkey because Monkey can't talk except for grunts, and you know, normal monkey noises. But this being Marvel, I was expecting Monkey to start talking like a human because...Well...Marvel. The show has ghosts and a guy who shoots lightning from his feet. They could find a way to make Monkey talk. Oh well, I'm still happy we have Bryce, the weirdo that he is.
Can't wait to see what happens next season.
