Steve Greene indieWire "Crossing Swords" has so much happening around its edges that it's almost more satisfying to watch all this debauchery on mute. Rated: B- Jun 15, 2020 Full Review Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com But Crossing Swords doesn't just give the impression of being something of a relic. It's also a lazy one. Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Charles Bramesco Guardian A smarter show would burrow into the disillusionment as a rookie squire learns his dream is rotten on the inside, but there's simply no time, what with all the circumcision gags that need to be made. Rated: 2/5 Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Sarah McMullan Stuff.co.nz I really enjoyed this: the voice talent is spot on, and the writing, though coarse, is very witty. Here’s hoping season two arrives soon. May 23, 2022 Full Review Tara Ariano Primetimer Occasionally, the character design is adorable: one is killed in a cursed iron maiden and returns as a classic white ghost with a sweet little face; if Hulu makes him into a toy, I will buy one. But generally it just looks cheap and jerky Aug 12, 2020 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Nonstop crass humor, language in animated medieval fantasy. Rated: 2/5 Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Have drink, relax, turn off your brain and settle down for a funny stop motion comedy that may cover old ground but is still hilarious and sometimes surprising. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great animation but it has some of the worst writing I have ever heard in my entire life. Incredibly unfunny and crude for the sake of being crude. The only good thing this show did for me was make me appreciate the writing on better adult animated shows. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member critics are harsh af, but for us the show is fun, that's all that matters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member They definitely could use some work in terms of storyline, jokes, and overall content but this was fun and a little bit off kilter from what we're being served in adult animation during the past few years. It is no ‘Robot Chicken' but I don't think it does not aspire to be, focusing on its own niche theme which I'm afraid will get old fast after the novelty dies but I will say it was fun while it lasted! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious adult humor with just enough reference to highbrow culture, counterbalanced with mixed in the slapstick. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Trash with no writing or even anything funny at all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
