Apollo Gauntlet is an American adult animated television series created and written by Canadian animator Myles Langlois, which is an adaptation of his independent web series of the same name,[1] released in 2012 on Rug Burn, a YouTube network born from a partnership between Titmouse, Inc. and 6 Point Harness.
Produced for Adult Swim by the companies 6 Point Harness (its first television series as a production label for Mondo Media), Mosaic and Williams Street, its pilot episode was aired on December 4, 2016, while the series aired from July 9 to August 13, 2017.
[5] Apollo Gauntlet is the pseudonym of Paul Cassidy, a police officer from Winnipeg, Manitoba who gets sent to a futuristic medieval society by Dr. Benign.
In this society, Apollo Gauntlet fights evil while trying to capture Dr. Benign and undo the Oracles of Doom.
Club's William Hughes called both Apollo and Hot Streets "very Adult Swim–esque", writing that they felt in tandem with Adult Swim's "core aesthetic of cheap-looking, surrealist animation mixed with self-aware dialogue, delivered with a distinctive slacker vibe".
