Moral Orel
He just wants to do good.
Created by Dino Stamatopoulos
On Adult Swim
A darkly comic stop-motion series that uses an earnest child's religious literalism to explore the gap between doctrine and damage, mixing grotesque subject matter with genuine warmth.
Orel is an 11-year-old boy who loves church. His unbridled enthusiasm for piousness and his misinterpretation of religious morals often lead to disastrous results, including self-mutilation and crack addiction. No matter how much trouble he gets into, his reverence always keeps him cheery.
