Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Season 1 Episode 01: BMO
When there is a deadly space emergency in the far reaches of the galaxy, it appears that there are powerful adventures that some will take on. Now, there is only one hero to call, and it may be BMO who will start his journey in order to face all the challenges and daily obstacles.
CRITICS OF "Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Season 1"
Den of Geek
This is a fun, funny, and occasionally moving first episode, which bodes well for the rest of this limited return series. The only thing that worries me is I expect the remaining episodes will feature far less BMO.
Hopefully, BMO sets the tone for the other specials while still allowing for similarly offbeat stories without feeling too much like one another. HBO Max could do far worse than allowing different Adventure Time characters to dream of grand adventure.
If the remaining three Distant Lands installments - including one with Bubblegum/Marceline, one with Peppermint Butler, and a fourth with Finn and Jake - are even half as good as "BMO," I will be satisfied.
It still feels like Adventure Time, operating on the same blend of dream logic, comedy, and surreal heroism that made the show such a delight and for so long.
BMO steps into the role of hero by fighting the power of a broken system led by a corrupt ruler -- a narrative that is both universally timeless and incredibly timely.
