Ten Little Roosters review

Here's what you need to know; 10 Rooster Teeth employees attend a company banquet at an office lock-in, but things get out of control when they discover one of them is a serial killer, the game is now on to unmask the killer and survive the night, but as the list of suspects narrows, things only get worse for our Ten Little Roosters.
I don't think I've ever reviewed a web series on this blog, and I recently got round to watching this one, so let's jump in.

Now, on paper this is a classic who done it murder mystery, and that is the first positive I have, this is actually a clever mystery, the series does a great job of keeping you guessing who the killer is, and it's fun to play the game, as well as solve the ominous riddles and figure out who will die and who will live. There are little clues scattered throughout the series, and it's something that also gives it a lot of rewatch value, finding all the clues and watching the puzzle come together, it's done really cleverly. Ten Little Roosters is also very cleverly written, again with all the clues, but also with all the humour, this is a genuinely funny series, it's riddled with jokes both obvious and subtle, jokes that are more general while others are more catered to fans of Rooster Teeth and their various productions; RWBY, Achievement Hunter, Red vs. Blue etc, and these jokes tie into the murders, often in hilarious ways, but how I will not spoil. It's also worth noting that this series is absurd, it's completely ridiculous, but that is far from a negative when the series embraces it as much as it does, and it works, at least if you're familiar with Rooster Teeth, I personally have no problem with it, but it's something to remember if you don't like your comedy with added crazy. In the writing though there are a few holes, a few gaps in continuity that just feel out of place when the rest of it is so cleverly written, again, no spoilers, but it's something that just confuses me. Finally I haven't yet mentioned the characters, all 10 of the Roosters play exaggerated versions of themselves, and many are in themselves references to other Rooster Teeth productions, for example Ryan is a kilt wearing king with sociopathic tendencies, it's really funny, at least to me, to see the Rooster Teeth employees playing themselves, and it makes for some of the series' biggest laughs, that also makes it very easy to take sides when trying to solve the mystery, which only adds to the fun of solving it.

Ten Little Roosters is a lot of fun to watch, it's a very enjoyable murder mystery in addition to a hilarious comedy, and it's overflowing with little nods and gags that I just thought were brilliant, there are a couple flaws here and there, but they're petty, a result of not really having anything that I didn't like. I would therefore highly recommend Ten Little Roosters.
