Every once in a while, some people on the Internet collectively choose to throw their weight behind the revival of a show that was extremely popular but was canceled after a season or more. JerichoCommunity, and young justice These are just a few examples, the latest show to join these ranks is last year’s animated sci-fi horror series Scavenger Rule.
The series, which originally premiered on Adult Swim and Max, has now jumped ship Go to Netflix, centers on three groups of survivors aboard a crash-landed spaceship on an alien planet. io9 calls it one of Best Shows of 2023what I insist on: from beginning to end, Scavenger Rule is a great series that feels different from anything else (animated or otherwise) under the Adult Swim/Max banner. It has a killer vibe, is always attractive even in quiet places, and constantly outdoes itself on a visual level. For those of you who are craving for an adult animated series that isn’t just about people constantly cursing or saying vulgar things, this show will satisfy your cravings.
If there’s anywhere this show could feel at home, it’s Netflix, The Everything Streamer. For all its flaws, shows or movies added to the platform often perform well once they gain attention from a wider audience, e.g. appear or Community.

Scavenger Rule It’s a niche show and there’s no real controversy. Even putting aside the fact that it’s animated, there really hasn’t been anything like it in the Western space for a while (if ever), and certainly not on a major network or streaming outlet. Can it be an instant hit? Probably not, but it could at least become a niche show that performs well, enriches whatever platform it’s a part of, and becomes a solid watch that earns attention over time.
Should you watch it? Without a doubt: yes, because you’ll probably be left with something that sticks in your mind or makes you talk about it.
