Long Trip, Goodnight : The Animated Series
Series Synopsis
Spade Darko is an over-talented, under-obedient music artist whose world flips when Darkobot bursts into his life with a singular mission: take down The Mysterious Hand, a time-bending tyrant rewriting history to drain the joy from art and control the entertainment industry. Thrown together as an odd-couple duo, Spade and Darkobot ricochet through eras—1980’s label boardrooms, pirate radio basements, early-internet forums, and today’s algorithmic choke points—uncovering how the Hand rigged the game decade by decade. Their trail runs through Shiva, the Hand’s enigmatic lieutenant, whose loyalties and past with Spade complicate every move.
Each episode blends kinetic action and sharp satire, flipping real industry pressures—censorship, paywalls, manufactured trends—into high-stakes set pieces where rhythm is weaponry and creativity is rebellion. Season by season, the duo rallies an underground of artists, collecting the “keys” to restore harmony, culminating in a broadcast that can break the Hand’s spell—or silence Spade forever.
