Although the creators of the video game (Chad and Jared Moldenhauer) helped to oversee The Cuphead Show! to ensure a sense of parity with Cuphead, the way in which the TV series brings to life these characters in ways we haven't seen before is a lot of fun. As such, the creators of The Cuphead Show! had to do a lot of that legwork when creating this series to essentially fill the gaps. Even though Cuphead has become an indie darling over the past few years, the game itself doesn't feature voice acting or a whole lot of characterization for its most notable faces. Perhaps the thing that's most impressive about The Cuphead Show! is the way in which the creators have built a series that feels cohesive with the video game. The result is a series that doesn't just adequately harness the charm of 1930s cartoons, but shows that Cuphead as an IP still has room for growth. This TV iteration of the popular video game (which itself is based on old-timey cartoons) does a fantastic job of not only adapting the source material, but also expanding on it in new and unexpected ways. The Cuphead Show! is genuinely a ton of fun over the course of its 12-episode first season.
