20 Best TV Shows Of 2021
9. Invincible
Given how popular the current superhero climate is, shows like Invincible are a welcome change of pace, putting a more adult spin of the genre's otherwise family-friendly drama whilst paying amusing homage to its pop culture influences.
The story of a rookie superhero who teams up with his veteran father to learn about the hardships of being a hero, the animated action-drama makes for a visually appealing coming-of-age tale that quickly descends into shocking violence and hard-hitting themes such as identity and responsibility.
Based on the comic series from The Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman, Invincible stars an astounding rogue gallery of voice actors - led by Steven Yeun, J.K. Simmons and Sandra Oh - and uses it bold twists and excessively bloody violence to put a fresh, entertaining spin on the superhero subgenre.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the MCU, Invincible is the perfect palate cleanser.
