A hilarious satire.

I'm not the best at expressing opinions, but I'll try to.

The Boondocks is one of the best comedy cartoons I've seen. The satirical humor lampoons a lot of social issues, usually managing to turn what should be heated controversies into something very amusing and ridiculous. The action scenes are also very awesome to watch. The animesque art style and animation, especially in Season 3, also looks great. Most of the episodes usually don't get too boring.

The downside though is that the show does gradually decline, particularly in Season 4. The humor loses quite a bit of its edge, character development is stunted painfully, and of course the short life span: In 9 years, there's only 4 seasons and 55 episodes, with the story ending inconclusively (and not in a great way either). As I watched the entirety of this series online after its TV run ended, I've been wanting something more that was lacking.

Indeed, Season 4 was inferior compared to the first three. Maybe because Aaron McGruder stopped working on the show after Season 3 ended? It's not Boondocks without McGruder.

Just about everyone seems to agree that Only the Creator Does It Right.
