Who would have thought that a flaky animated sitcom about a hack superhero who calls himself Koala Man would offer a relatable, authentic portrait of Australian suburbia? The protagonist of Michael Cusack’s skittishly entertaining series, Kevin (voiced by Cusack), is a middle-class slob in the familiar ilk of Peter in Family Guy or Homer Simpson. As these things often go, he has a supportive longsuffering wife, Vicky (voiced by Sarah Snook), forever playing second fiddle to her outrageous husband. This balding buffoon sets himself apart from his loafing contemporaries by donning a koala mask and embarking on (mis)adventures as a pseudo crime fighter.
