About Paradise PD
A fresh-faced rookie signs up with the tiny Paradise police department where his father is chief, and nothing in town runs smoothly. The show follows this mismatched squad, an assortment of hotheads, oddballs and drinking partners, as they bungle a sprawling drug investigation. Their incompetence and petty rivalries spark a string of crude, outrageous incidents, with slapstick violence, blunt language and gross-out jokes driving most scenes. The plot stays focused on the daily chaos of policing in a place that rewards bravado over skill, so episodes trade careful plotting for escalating absurdity and shock humor.
Created by Waco O'Guin and Roger Black, Paradise PD premiered on Netflix in 2018. The adult animated series features vocal performances from Kyle Kinane, Cedric Yarbrough, David Herman, Tom Kenny and Sarah Chalke, and it continued the creators' taste for boundary-pushing sitcom animation after their earlier work.
Critical and audience response has been mixed, with some viewers enjoying the relentless raunch and satirical jabs at authority while others point to gratuitous offensiveness. On aggregate viewer polling the show averages about 7.185/10 from 382 votes, reflecting a solid niche following rather than mainstream critical acclaim. Recurring themes include corruption in small institutions, macho posturing, and exaggerated consequences of incompetence.
Paradise PD made a mark inside the adult animation scene by doubling down on crude shock humor, meme-ready visuals and quotable gross-out moments, which helped it find a devoted online audience. Fans of edgy adult cartoons often compare its tone to the creators' previous series, and clips have circulated widely on social platforms where shock value gets quick attention.
The series has not been singled out by major industry awards, and it hasn’t collected Emmys or Golden Globes. Despite that, it sustained enough viewership to keep the creators visible in the streaming comedy space, and it remains a go-to example for people seeking deliberately outrageous, adult-oriented animated sitcoms.
