What to Know

Critics Consensus

Pleasantly strange and surprisingly thoughtful, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling succeeds as both a nostalgic look back and a healthy hop forward.

"Rocko" was always self-aware, and "Static Cling" goes all in, with a metafictional recounting of its own rebirth. Go to Full Review

May be one of Netflix's weirdest decisions yet. Go to Full Review

Static Cling pokes delightful fun at itself and its existence, utilizing the "rebooting old property" concept to make some solid, if easy, jabs at the soulless, corporate nature behind most reboots. Go to Full Review

Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling was nostalgia resurrection done right. I enjoyed pretty much everything about it. Go to Full Review
Matt Cipolla The Spool 01/17/2020
Some plot threads . . . carry a Chaplin-esque anxiety instead of easy anger. But while its politics come in a tsunami of gags, its contradictions are timely -- and oddly touching. Go to Full Review

9/10
Static Cling is ballsy enough to champion the marginalised and smart enough to accomplish it without abandoning the show's lovably strange approach. Murray and his team absolutely have a hit on their hands. Go to Full Review

Hunter A. @Fatal_Error_Music Oct 13 It's weird, but that's just rocko's modern life See more Kevin P Jan 4 A very funny revival sequel that picks up right where the show ended, serving as a modernized epilogue and proper conclusion to the beloved 90s Nicktoon. Normally I hate "lol modern tech what" boomer jokes, but it's actually really funny watching these 90s time capsule characters react to and satirize all the best and worst trends in modern consumerism & pop culture. There's also plenty of meta humor about our obsession with nostalgia and the pros/cons of it. Not all of the humor lands, but there's certainly a lot more hits than misses. There's also a nice touching subplot about Ralph Bighead transitioning, which is refreshing and surprisingly considering how rare this kind of representation, let alone positive rep is present in tv/films, ESPECIALLY animation. See more Stefano S Dec 19 Gives a happy feel good finally to an underrated show. Definitely worth seeing this and the show at least once. See more Nico W 10/17/2024 Rockos modern life made better by good political agenda See more ichigokiller47 03/01/2024 It could have been better it was classic Rocko's Modern Life until after Rocko was surfing for channels look for his classic show. See more ana luisa u 10/20/2023 Es ok no tan memorable como la serie es tonta y genérica es buena y entretenida es un 6.7 de 10 See more Read all reviews
