Dead End: Paranormal Park

Dead End: Paranormal Park is a new PG-ish cartoon series on Netflix, based on a graphic novel series, based on a one-shot cartoon. It’s both a monster comedy and a coming-of-age story, about two teens taking a summer job at a theme park which is also maybe a portal to Hell.

Dead End: Paranomal Park
Norma, Barney and Pugsley the talking dog.
Not pictured, Courtney the demon.

So yes it made me think of Buffy, having done the crappy first job as a setup there too. Though not in an Adventureland style theme park setting with most episodes being based around park and/or job features. Hmm...

The Weird Level cranks up fast.

Favourite background gag: Sandvvitches

And in the first episode Slender Man gets disintegrated.

And the third episode has Alan Cumming as a life coach and the fifth has Tom Lenk as the game show host from Hell.
