As far as new, creative, original animated series go, Crossing Swords is one of the year’s best.

With so much of the tonal groundwork taken care of by that first episode, each new attempt to go back to that well gets less and less shocking. ... Yet, even when those people around Patrick seem thin, it’s the voice work on the show that becomes another saving grace.

Absolutely loved it and can't wait for season 2. At first, It starts off as a decent comedy with plenty of adult humour but as the show goes on and the characters develop, It becomes something much more than expected. It's kind of like Archer in that way. I would highly recommend checking it out.

A great spinoff from Robot Chicken, surprisingly liked the show. Sometimes unremarkable, otherwise a hilarious good time following Patrick's misadventures.

It’s reasonably funny sometimes—a relief, that, as ‘profane’ and ‘funny’ are its only obvious goals—but hearkens back to a time when shows like “South Park” and “Family Guy” felt consistently new and fresh.

“Swords” is occasionally funny but more often settles for outrageous — a Little People figure swearing and showing off his private parts! — which may work to a degree the first time, but grows tiresome and dull in repetition.

The scripts pass pedestrian potty-mouthing off as the quippy intellect needed to get us comfortable at this low height of brow.

The series isn’t without moments of cleverness, but even the jokes that land mostly just emphasize how complacent the remainder of Crossing Swords is to coast on its crassness.

Every character is operating on a different level of vulgarity. ... Skip it, unless you’re in 8th grade and somehow haven’t already heard these jokes before.

It originally says Seth Green of Robot Chicken, but then his name is not anywhere. The jokes are pretty bad, script and characters too. The best thing I can say is that it's good background while you are on the internet doing something else.
