A frenetic, absurdist spy-action parody that mines 1960s aesthetics and tokusatsu tropes for maximum visual and comedic strangeness while maintaining a deliberately artificial, retro-futuristic tone.

Set in a bizarre, 1960's inspired version of World War II, the action comedy series follows the finest group of spies the Allies have to offer on a mission to kill Adolf Hitler.
