Agent Elvis (2023)
7/10
Archer With An A-List Cast & Iconic Figurehead
12 July 2023
An A-list voice cast paired with a cultural icon as the main character; Agent Elvis does it's best to make itself distinct, but will always be compared to other mature animations like Archer, Inside Job and anything else that revolves around secret agent missions and government conspiracies.

An animation style that is easy on the eye and a great cast including McConaughey, Olsen, Knoxville and Cheadle, this cartoon has everything to capture an audience to begin with. Then putting the King of rock'n'roll into a secret agency as the US' answer to James Bond, there's a lot to play with in the series. Cultural references galore, but tailored enough for a target audience that wouldn't have been born to experience most of them.

The serialisation gives an overall arc to enjoy across episodes, whilst dipping into random 20-minute adventures to build a greater plot. Enjoyable enough, and certainly for a mature audience, but not as funny nor as original as Archer, a series which had 14 years to establish itself as the go-to comedy spy cartoon.
