New on Netflix: "Mulligan" © Netflix
With the Netflix animated series "Mulligan", the duo that brought us "30 Rock" and "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is once again conquering the hearts of fans. Does the undertaking also succeed with the pencil?
Earth is being attacked by aliens, and it's up to a mediocre Boston baseball player to save the planet in the new Netflix series "Mulligan." He does this by throwing a grenade into the aliens' ventilation shaft, incapacitating the system. As a result, he becomes the president of the handful of survivors who want a second chance.
What is the series "Mulligan" about?
Aliens from the planet Cardi.B ("It's just a coincidence!") take over the power on Earth, the fight costs the lives of a large part of the population. Until baseball player Matty Mulligan (Nat Faxon, "Disenchantment") saves the world with the help of beauty queen Lucy (Chrissy Teigen, "The Mitchells vs. the Machines"). Politician and former Senator Cartwright LaMarr (Dana Carvey, "Wayne's World") takes him under his wing and makes him president on the spot. It is more than obvious that he is looking for a straw doll from whom he can take power out of his hands as Grey Eminence. Matty has only two items on his agenda to make Lucy his first lady and find a way to cool beer. Whether it's worth taking a look, you can read at Serienjunkies.de. (Loryn Pörschke-Karimi)
