The first season of Invincible is nothing short of exceptional. The main cast is stellar akin to a live-action production, bolstered by a bounty of recognisable cameos, making it one of the shows standout qualities. The story itself isn't mind blowing, however, the beats within and subplots keep you hooked.
The art style is safe and, therefore, less likely to be polarising. However, the show is a complete gore-fest at times, much like Amazon's other darling property 'The Boys', sometimes to my distaste but that is preferential. Mentioning 'The Boys' is certainly appropriate as many similarities can be drawn between the two shows; so much so that if you didn't like the boys, you'll also not like Invincible. Although, the tone of Invincible is far less bleak than the boys and more inline with your typical Sunday morning cartoon at times.
Overall, the show is a must watch if you're into your Superhero content and a perfect filler between Marvel shows if you're looking for your fix. If you're not so into Superhero stuff, try the show anyway if you have an Amazon Prime subscription as the show is one of apps the best offerings.
