Obliterated
What's the Story?
In OBLITERATED, one of the NSA's top teams celebrates stopping a terrorist attack in Las Vegas with a night of debuachery, only to discover a few hours later that the bomb threat is still active and they need to deal with it despite their inebriated states.
Is It Any Good?
Mission Impossible meets The Hangover in this unique action comedy that's fast-paced and consistently entertaining. Obliterated is a high-octane ride, with an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack, that features a rowdy crew of likable characters. Reminiscent of action films from the late 1980s and early '90s -- with the notable exception of both women and men of various ethnicities being portrayed as strong, intelligent, and competent -- the series delivers adult audiences mindless entertainment at a very high production level.
