Is Moral Orel /tv/ approved?

Absolutely, very unique style and properly dark without trying to be too edgy

Yea it's great. This is what dark adult cartoons should be. It's actually edgy, not just trying to be. And even with that, it's edginess is not what drives it. The show has a lot to say and at its best it's really powerful, at its worst it's fun.

The emotional payoff in the third season more than makes up for the one-dimensional humor that drags on during most of the first two seasons. It's one of those shows that receives near universal praise on 4chan because the only people who still want to talk about it are the people who love it.

It's a show that in some respects is a product of its time. It came out kind of at the height of "the Bush years" when The Daily Show was held in high regard, Jesus Camp set the tone of the public debate over religion, Zeitgeist had come out further playing into the pervading sense that everyone was smarter than their leaders and the vanguard of pop culture revolved around being an elitist disillusioned freethinker, disgusted by his country and the supposed glassy-eyed, corn-syrup chugging, superstitious & backwards hicks that populated it.

Moral Orel both played into this spirit and subverted it. The first two seasons with its relentless parody of christian fundamentalism was a reflection of a good deal of the prevailing 'counter' culture of the time, and this aspect of the show has undoubtedly held up the least, hardly anybody would care to remember the show today if it ended after the second season. It was the way the show transitioned these panglossian cut-outs and turn them into fully fledged characters and get you to invest emotionally in them that made the show so enduring.
