About this show

A hybrid live action/animated series centering on animated warrior Zorn who, upon arriving home on Earth for the first time in 10 years, finds that reconnecting with his live-action son Alan and ex-wife Edie while suffering through a mundane office job and the banality of suburban life, is harder than waging actual war in his distant, mystical homeland of Zephyria.

Who continues to greenlight these crappy shows? It's just new paint on the same turd we saw in past season's attempts at being funny. #bringbackcommunity

The focus group must have been held outside of Comic Con because no one else would have been lighted this hot mess.

In the beginning i didn't even bother to watch it because it seemed stupid. After I watched the episodes I liked it, not many shows are as well made like this one I totally recommend you give this show a try.
