Is Agent Elvis a good kid's book? We discuss whether or not the Netflix animated series is suitable for children, and how appropriate it is.
Agent Elvis is a Netflix series created by Archer mastermind Mike Arnold. The program made its streaming debut on the platform on March 17th. Many parents may want to know if the series is kid-friendly and if parental guidelines should be followed. We want to take the discussion out of the hands of parents.
What is the meaning of Netflix's Agent Elvis?
The official Netflix synopsis is this:
Matthew McConaughey plays the titular character in the series, adding some authenticity to the role (not to mention her familiarity with comedy in the Naked Gun franchise of films).
Kaitlin Olson plays CeCe Ryder, Don Cheadle plays The Commander, Johnny Knoxville plays Bobby Ray, Niecy Nash-Betts plays Bertie, and even Tom Kenny's chimpanzee sidekick, Scatter, who plays Tom Kenny.
Ready Steady Cut's Romey Norton gave the show a good review, stating, "Agent Elvis is interesting and engaging."
Is Agent Elvis for kids?
Agent Elvis, an animated comedy series, has been rated TV-MA by Netflix's website, implying that the program is not suitable for children under the age of 17. "This program may contain one or more of the following: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (V)."
The TV Parental Guidelines provide parental guidance for television, streaming, and network ratings. That includes categories for "all children" (TV-Y), "directed to older children – fantasy violence" (TV-Y7 -FV), "general audiences" (TV-GA), "parental guidance recommended" (TV-14), and "adult audiences only" (TV-MA)
Parents should use the TV-MA designation if they are concerned about the Netflix animated series' age rating.
Agent Elvis' age rating is not intended for anyone under the age of 17 years old. That includes kids as well as a large percentage of teenagers.
The Mike Arnold series would be put on par with family Guy, The Cleveland Show, Archer, Rick & Morty, and South Park.
