Nothing can prepare you for the first trailer of Netflix’s Exploding Kittens.
The adaptation to the popular tabletop card game will showcase the timeless battle between good and evil, personified by God (Tom Ellis) and Satan (Lucy Liu) who find themselves reincarnated as Earth-bound felines.
But Exploding Kittens is more than a tale of two cats. It’s a commentary on the absurdity of cosmic conflicts played out in the most mundane of settings. The teaser hints at a series where the divine feud is less of a holy war and more a series of petty, comedic squabbles, bringing a ridiculous twist to the eternal conflict. Then again, the series was developed by The Office co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels’ animation company Bandera Entertainment, so we fully expect more laughs and less philosophical introspection.
(Warning, it does contain some strong language.)
