A brilliant, detailed cartoon

Very rarely, except perhaps in the realms of anime and the Marvel
Universe, can one find such an intriguing, detailed and exciting
cartoon. BAD: Bureau of Alien Detectors is about a team of heroes who
track down and foil the schemes of aliens that have come to earth. The
characters are actually explored in each episode - there is detail, and
depth, without overdoing it the way that Marvel cartoons so often
manage to. Perhaps I am overanalysing, but the themes of trust and
corruption are touched on as the series unfolds. Each episode is
exciting, interesting... even scary and haunting, depending on your
age. The good guys have real personalities, and the alien language
(shown in subtitles) is unusually interesting for a kids show - one
species of alien calls each other things like "tooth for brains". It is
almost difficult to take it all in! It is truly a tragedy that B.A.D.
wasn't longer.
