Perhaps the thing that's most impressive about The Cuphead Show! is the way in which the creators have built a series that feels cohesive with the video game. Even though Cuphead has become an indie darling over the past few years, the game itself doesn't feature voice acting or a whole lot of characterization for its most notable faces. As such, the creators of The Cuphead Show! had to do a lot of that legwork when creating this series to essentially fill the gaps. Although the creators of the video game (Chad and Jared Moldenhauer) helped to oversee The Cuphead Show! to ensure a sense of parity with Cuphead, the way in which the TV series brings to life these characters in ways we haven't seen before is a lot of fun.

Yes, gamers and non-gamers, Netflix is finally ready to deliver The Cuphead Show! (yes, the exclamation mark is a part of the title). This adaptation was inevitable, as the Cuphead game already featured a gorgeous look and fantastic jazzy soundtrack.

And The Cuphead Show will use those to bring the tales of a sentient, anthropomorphized cup named Cuphead and his brother Mugman to a wider audience. And if Netflix's success in video game adaptations with The Witcher is any indicator, this will be another winner.
