Adventure Time is an American animated series about Finn the human boy and his best friend Jake the dog. Jake can talk and has the power to stretch himself like an elastic band, Finn is just a kid and has no powers.As you can probably imagine from looking at the above image, the show is completely bonkers, makes zero sense but is insanely fun.
The animation is also gobsmackingly beautiful so you can watch it, and even if you've completely lost track of the plot you can still enjoy it for its incredible colour pallet and amazing scenery. It isn't all wacky weirdness though, at the center of the show is the strong beating heart of these two central characters. One of my favourite things about television series that sets apart from the movies slightly is character development. One of my main complaints about cartoons, even my favourite of all time The Simpsons, is that there is not enough character development. In Adventure Time we're almost watching this kid grow up in this surreal world and the writers have aged him.
Obviously I'd like more character development, things pretty much go back to normal after every episode but at least over the years there has been character development to some degree.
