I was a little skeptical whether a fan-favorite side character was going to be able to carry a 40-minute special but gosh darn BMO is just adorable. I think this is the perfect way to revive Adventure Time and HBO Max might of hit a nice nugget for its original content. This special reminded me of everything I really like about adventure time and some of the things I don’t like.
I like that they essentially placed BMO inside someone else’s story and balanced it well so someone else has the character arc, while keeping BMO very much involved and center stage. I love all of the silly and imaginative designs and the childish humor just worked well for me. It also just reminds me of just how convoluted of a mess Adventure Time grew to be and just how it departed from the simple show it once was. That said I think this was an above average episode so if you’re a fan I encourage to grab a friend and go check out Distant Lands.
My sister been raving about this of late. She got big into the show again with her boyfriend and is eager to watch the HBO specials. Sounds like she’ll enjoy them.

It was good, If you’re a fan of BMO I don’t see how you could not find some enjoyment of this one.
