Hapless survivors are mankind’s last hope in funny Netflix series ‘Mulligan’

The not particularly bright new president (voice of Nat Faxon) is one of the few survivors of an unsuccessful alien invasion, as is one of the invaders (Phil LaMarr), on “Mulligan.” (NETFLIX)

We’ve all seen those alien-invasion disaster movies that end with the hopelessly outmatched humans somehow defeating those bug-like creatures in their futuristic spaceships, after which the good guys and gals stand amidst the rubble and destruction, pledge allegiance to the flag and talk about the long and tough rebuild ahead.

Yeah, but what if the only Earthlings remaining are a bunch of goofballs who are wildly unequipped to take on such a monumental task? That’s much the setup for the Netflix animated comedy series “Mulligan,” a light and breezy and wicked-smart antidote to all those heavy, dark, live-action dystopian dramas.
