“De-Based”
When Basemax opens a spam email at Fred’s Request, she gets infected with a Trojan virus leading to potentially dangerous consequences…
Our Take
The first episode introduces us to Globby (Andy Richter) who in a past episode had an evil copy made which they manage to somewhat give a stable civilized mind to. However, with too much intelligence comes hubris along with correcting people with the phrase “Well, actually…” along with idiot pet-peeves which almost becomes a major source of conflict that ends up being resolved in the most unusual way with a funny twist at the end.
The second episode goes as far as to parody the “Nigerian prince scam” e-mails I’m sure you’ve heard about, in combination with a real problem that affects e-mails as a whole, Trojan viruses. Fred’s impulsiveness becomes one of the major flaws that’s highlighted here. So much shit happens all because of one e-mail being opened that it’s downright suspenseful.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
