Come to think of it, there aren’t a lot of ocean-related shows these days outside of documentary-style films or series like Blue Planet. There are a couple of animated kid shows but nothing particularly made for adults with mature content. So, I think the combination of location, sea creatures interacting with humans, and workplace culture is actually pretty great in terms of timing. Even finding messages in bottles is still relevant, because that somehow keeps happening, which is both cool and disturbing in its own right.
This also seems like a creative opportunity to comedically explore how the ocean is being neglected in the fight against combatting climate change. This isn’t a political statement, mind you. I just enjoy the opportunity to spotlight some science whenever possible, and there could be an opportunity to satirize it with a show like this. Either way, I look forward to more information on the series as time goes on.

Variety announced a new series written and executive produced by Thomas Lennon. The animated show entitled The Post Guard is described as “a workplace adventure comedy following the rag tag crew of humans, turtles, seals and mermaids at the secretive, and often overlooked mashup of the Coast Guard and Post Office, as they scour the high seas to find and deliver messages in bottles, while settling who among them is in charge of the ship’s menial tasks, like resetting the WiFi.”
