Exploding Kittens (Netflix): Dumb Name... Dumb Fun Mindless Animated Entertainment

I saw a trailer for this and heard that it was inspired by a modern [card? board?] game... which didn't compute with what I was watching.
Then I saw Mike Judge (King of the Hill, Beavis & Butthead) was involved and gave it a watch. First one was mostly setup and was OK... Took until the 3rd episode or so to find its stride and I was reasonably entertained.
The best way I could describe it as a recipe is:
2 Parts Lucy, Daughter of the Devil
1 Part Oblongs
1/2 Part Any former TGIF family sitcom
With a dash of KOTH and Beetlejuice
Garnished with Pop Culture References
I'd rate it 5.5/10 vs episodic TV in general but 7/10 against other recent "grown up" mainstream animated series.

exploding kittens is possibly the best card/board game i have ever played

Is it worth watching, or is it just something else on Netflix that’s talking shite about Christians? Evenly handed and heavy handed are two different things.

The game its based on is a good vs evil type thing where the players have to make decisions based on their chosen path.
So there are elements of that. Also allows the introduction of all kinds of old gods, new gods, the Tooth Fairy, etc...
