Production

[edit]

Paying homage to his Australian upbringing and love for “Ozploitation” film, series creator O’Keefe began the project through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015. The series was then picked up by Look Mom! Productions, a Blue Ant Studios company, and developed with Executive Producer Joshua Bowen.[9]

The series was initially commissioned by the now-defunct streaming service Quibi in April 2020 before it went dark later that year. Roku subsequently acquired the series in January 2021, and premiered it on The Roku Channel on January 28, 2022.[10]

The project was produced almost entirely throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Producer Josh Bowen is quoted as saying "Josh (O'Keefe) literally produced this show from my mom's basement with the help of her home cooked meals. The final product is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our team."[11]

Reception

[edit]

Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media gave the series a 3 out of 5.[12] Justin Epps with BubbleBlabber gave Season 1 a 7/10.[13]

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Doomlands is an adult animated comedy television series created by Josh O'Keefe that follows the infamous Danny Doom and aspiring bartender Lhandi as they serve drinks from their mobile subterranean pub, The Oasis, while navigating a hellish post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with desert gangs, memory-stealing creatures, and other bizarre threats. Originally developed as a university project inspired by Australian "Ozploitation" films and national identity, the series draws from O'Keefe's background in animation and was initially ordered by the short-form streaming service Quibi in 2020 before finding a new home on The Roku Channel following Quibi's shutdown. Produced by Look Mom! Productions—a subsidiary of Blue Ant Media—the show premiered its first season of ten episodes on January 28, 2022, and a second season of five episodes on September 3, 2024, blending crude humor, ultra-violence, and fantasy violence with a lower-budget aesthetic and heavy emphasis on profanity, substance use, and sexual innuendo. The series stars Mark Little as the grizzled Danny Doom, as the optimistic Lhandi, and features supporting voices including Ashley Holliday Tavares as Xanthena, with O'Keefe also contributing as director and additional voice work. Notable for its production challenges during the —completed almost entirely remotely—Doomlands has received a 6.4/10 rating on from over 250 users and explores themes of survival, camaraderie, and absurdity in a cursed, relic-strewn .

Overview

Premise

Doomlands is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland characterized by a hellish, desolate landscape filled with surreal threats, including ruthless desert gangs and memory-stealing creatures that roam the barren terrain. This environment draws inspiration from dystopian action films like , blending gritty survival elements with fantastical dangers in a dust-choked world where everyday perils are amplified by the apocalypse's chaos. At the heart of the series is The Oasis, a mobile pub that serves as the central hub for its operators, Danny Doom and Lhandi, who sling drinks while traversing this unforgiving expanse. The duo's unlikely camaraderie forms the core narrative setup, mixing barroom humor and camaraderie with high-stakes survival antics as they encounter bizarre wasteland hazards. The overall tone combines adult-oriented comedy with crude humor, violence, and fantasy elements tailored to the wasteland's unique perils, evoking a vibe reminiscent of Cheers transplanted into the Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars. This fusion creates a narrative foundation centered on found family and resilience amid desolation, where serving patrons becomes an act of defiance against the end times.

Format and style

Doomlands employs a distinctive episodic format tailored to its roots, with Season 1 consisting of 10 short episodes running approximately 10-15 minutes each, designed for quick, punchy vignettes suited to the original short-form model before its acquisition by . In contrast, Season 2 shifts to 5 longer episodes of about 22-30 minutes, allowing for expanded narratives and deeper character exploration within the post-apocalyptic setting. This evolution reflects a move toward more substantial storytelling while maintaining the series' vignette-driven structure, where individual episodes focus on self-contained adventures at The Oasis mobile bar amid wasteland chaos. The animation style is 2D hand-drawn, featuring a gritty, stylized aesthetic that captures post-apocalyptic desolation through dusty, barren landscapes and exaggerated, fluid character designs reminiscent of low-budget sci-fi influences. This approach emphasizes raw, unpolished visuals with bold colors and dynamic action sequences, evoking cinema's rough edges and amplifying cartoonish violence for comedic effect without relying on high-production polish. The style differentiates Doomlands from smoother, more polished animations by prioritizing a tactile, handmade feel that mirrors the harsh, improvised life of its characters. Comedically, the series blends dark humor with , sexual , and absurd scenarios rooted in the daily absurdities of running a bar in a lawless wasteland, often highlighting chaotic customer interactions and survival mishaps. Recurring elements, such as improvised "doomshine" alcoholic concoctions and crude barroom graffiti motifs, underscore the show's irreverent tone, where humor arises from the tension between mundane service jobs and existential threats. This mix draws from traditions, using exaggeration and irony to lampoon post-apocalyptic tropes without descending into outright horror. As an , Doomlands fuses sci-fi adventure with through character-driven vignettes that avoid heavy serialization, instead opting for loosely connected tales of bar life, personal rivalries, and wasteland exploits. The post-apocalyptic premise serves as a mere backdrop for these episodic escapades, prioritizing humorous ensemble dynamics over plot progression. This genre blend positions the series as a satirical take on survival narratives, akin to workplace comedies transposed to a dystopian .

Xanthena, voiced by Ashley Holliday Tavares, acts as an enigmatic guide with underlying hidden motives, contributing quirky insights and a sense of mystery that subtly influences the group's decisions and uncovers layers of intrigue within the team. Recurring wasteland antagonists, such as ruthless gang leaders and corporate creeps, serve as foils to the Oasis crew, heightening external pressures that test the ensemble's cohesion without delving into specific confrontations.

Production

Development

The development of Doomlands originated from a university film and television assignment by creator Josh O'Keefe, who initially produced a black-and-white animatic as part of his studies. In 2015, O'Keefe launched a successful campaign to fund an expanded 13-minute pilot episode, which was ultimately screened at pub in in 2017 after contributions from friends and backers. The project gained further traction when Quibi commissioned the series in April 2020 as a 10-episode adult animated comedy, with development support from Look Mom! Productions and producer Josh Bowen. However, Quibi's abrupt shutdown in October 2020 left the show in limbo, stranding several animated projects including Doomlands. The Roku Channel acquired the series in 2021, marking it as their first original adult animated scripted program, and greenlit production for a January 2022 premiere. Look Mom! Productions, a subsidiary of , handled production, aligning with O'Keefe's vision of an irreverent post-apocalyptic comedy inspired by Australian "" films like , featuring a punk aesthetic with flat colors, simple outlines, and themes of outlaw misfits in a hellish wasteland. Pre-production faced significant hurdles from Quibi's failure, which disrupted scripting and planning, compounded by COVID-19-related delays that slowed overall progress. Despite these challenges, Roku renewed the series for a second season in June 2022, initially planned as 10 episodes but ultimately consisting of five 30-minute episodes released on September 3, 2024, produced again by Look Mom! Productions.

Animation process

The animation for Doomlands employs a 2D digital technique, which facilitates the show's distinctive punk-inspired aesthetic characterized by flat colors, uniform line thickness, and a deliberately loose, "janky" line work to evoke spontaneity and imperfection. This approach aligns with the studio's workflow at Look Mom! Productions, where earlier projects transitioned from to other tools for enhanced efficiency in managing complex sequences, though specific custom tools for effects like dust storms or explosions are not documented. Production occurred remotely amid the , beginning in with a team adapting to home-based setups for storyboarding, writing, and compositing. Voice recording integrated early into the process via Zoom sessions, allowing for improvisational elements that shaped final character designs and comedic timing, such as unscripted dialogue additions. This collaborative method, including virtual writers' rooms, enabled ongoing script revisions and maintained creative momentum despite isolation. Sound design prioritizes exaggerated voice modulation through ensemble recordings that capture overlapping for humorous effect, enhancing the post-apocalyptic barroom banter without detailed foley specifics for elements like clinks or ambiance. For Season 2, released in 2024, the process evolved to accommodate a longer runtime—shifting from ten 15-minute episodes to five 30-minute ones—permitting expanded landscapes and more fluid action sequences while retaining the core gritty style. This adjustment supported greater scale in wasteland depictions and character interactions, building on Season 1's foundational aesthetic derived from the creator's university animatic.

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, Season 1 holds no Tomatometer score due to only one critic review, while Season 2 has none at all. Common Sense Media awarded the series 3 out of 5 stars, rating it suitable for ages 15 and older due to frequent violence, profanity, and sexual innuendo. Bubbleblabber gave Season 1 a 7/10 and positively reviewed Season 2, noting incremental improvements in scope and execution. Critics praised the series for its irreverent humor blending post-apocalyptic tropes with sitcom dynamics, evoking a wasteland version of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media highlighted the "creative concept" that sustains its brief, self-contained episodes through a colorful ensemble cast adding chaos and entertainment. Voice performances drew particular acclaim, especially Mark Little's portrayal of the boisterous Danny Doom, described as "hilarious" and central to the show's energy. The gritty animation style was appreciated for fitting the hellish setting, with Season 2 lauded for deeper character exploration amid its expanded half-hour format, allowing more room for ensemble dynamics and guest stars like Rhys Darby. However, reviewers noted shortcomings in originality and execution. Justin Epps of Bubbleblabber critiqued Season 1's comedy as "not anything new or revolutionary," relying on archetypical characters and overlapping dialogue rather than sharp jokes, while the short 10- to 15-minute episodes occasionally strained pacing. pointed out the writing as unexceptional, with the adult content— including gratuitous violence, heavy drinking, and crude language—potentially off-putting for some viewers despite its thematic intent. In Season 2, newer characters were seen as blending indistinctly into the background, diluting focus amid the broader narrative scale. Key reviews emphasized the series' evolution and audience fit. Epps called Doomlands a "pretty chill watch" for fans of chaotic , crediting creator O'Keefe for delivering a Mad Max-inspired bar crawl despite production hurdles. John Schwarz of Bubbleblabber observed that "Doomlands works better as a half-hour series rather than a quarter-hour," praising its shift to allow the vast landscape and character interactions to breathe, though the gritty aesthetic might not appeal universally. Camacho recommended it for mature teens and adults, warning that its irreverent tone combines sci-fi elements with humor in a way that prioritizes entertainment over depth.
