★★★★ You may remember the late 1960s superhero series Birdman, which plagued children’s TV afternoons for two generations. Perhaps, if you’re younger, you remember Adult Swim’s parody Harvey Birdman, Lawyer. Well, this Birdgirl is a parody of the parody, with a similar design, and revolves around the girl who inherited that superhero’s signature and media. While dealing with overwork, competition, own incompetence, exhaustion, harassment and the problems of any woman in a large company, she takes it upon herself to defend “Good versus Evil”, in both cases with a capital . She at times fills herself with today’s comic commonplaces (the dead times in which two characters wait for a reaction, etc.), but the rhythm and the love for the genre give her an interesting weight.
