Debuting today on YouTube Red is Dallas & Robo, a warped sci-fi cartoon, and I do mean warped.
Dallas Moonshiner (Kat Dennings, ex-2 Broke Girls, who's also a producer) is a former stock car racer who now travels the galaxy with an AI with the soul of a poet, or he claims (John Cena, Total Bellas, American Grit, etc.). The all-star cast also includes Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night), Stephen Root, Clancy Brown, and Milana Vayntrub (Lily from the AT&T commercials).
The opener was posted on Reddit earlier, and is sanitized for your protection:
Cena doubles as an executive producer, but his performance resembles an average night for him in WWE. The mix of flash animation & CGI only works to a fault. I think series creator Mike Roberts might've wanted to pitch this to [adult swim], but may have been turned down, and YouTube offered him a slot on their Red channel.
Rating: B--.
