## Synopsis

Paradise PD (2018-2022) is a American adult animated sitcom created by Roger Black and Waco O'Guin for Netflix. Following an eager young rookie who joins the ragtag small-town police force led by his dad, the show follows the officers as they bumble, squabble and snort their way through a big drug case. Voice cast includes Kyle Kinane as Bullet, Cedric Yarbrough as Gerald Fitzgerald, David Herman as Kevin Crawford, Sarah Chalke as Gina Jabowski, and Tom Kenny as Chief Randall Crawford. Across four seasons and forty episodes, the engine is a steady stream of incompetence, with officers fumbling investigations and the department's chaos turning each case into a farce. Its humor is crude and irreverent, leaning on offensive jokes and surreal cartoon absurdity. Reviewers often compare it to the edgier adult animation of South Park, Family Guy and Brickleberry, noting that its raunchy tone is its defining feature. The setting is a modest American town, and the tone stays breezy and mocking throughout, with a loose, episodic rhythm that suits casual viewing.
