Good gods, that is a scathing review.
I guess I’ll eat a Snickers before I give this show a shot.
Hope that writer is ok.
It depresses me to see shows hire only super rich and famous actors for their whole cast. No actor hired on this show benefits from the money or the exposure of booking it.
There are actors living paycheck to paycheck who pray for these jobs, and our money just goes towards the already rich’s fourth homes.
I saw the title, then I read the review, and all I could think about was Al Pacino in *Jack and Jill*, saying, “Burn this. This must never be seen again.”
It’s insane how many good shows get cancelled only to get replaced by complete garbage.
It’s as if Hollywood wants people to stop watching.
Well now i have to watch it!
Variety calls it “Enjoyably chaotic” so probably best to check it out on your own.
I’d watch anything with Aubrey Plaza in it. She’s pretty fucking awesome.
I don’t get her supposed appeal
She is just white Awkwafina levels of annoying… always the same shtick…
“Perhaps there weren’t enough biscuits. Perhaps the show was written by biscuits.”
Oof.
I find these types of adult cartoons so tedious to watch
I have actually been enjoying it. To each their own.

“Kevin also has a protuberant anus, a fact that is repeated with a fervour that suggests the writers believe it to be powerful enough to merit a “long-running gag” badge. “Stop talking about your deformed anus,” slurs Kevin’s alcoholic goose friend, Chuck. “It’s not deformed,” shouts Kevin. “It’s prolapsed!” And lo, the soul begins its inexorable decline.”
Ooooooffff. I was thinking the reviewer may be a bit harsh but this honestly sounds unwatchable
Sounds like my jam
Ooof Joe Wengert, former UCB LA all star. I think we’re finally rid of that whole clique.
I mean..she’s not very good in anything she’s been in
The lazy animation that doesn’t differentiate it from other adult cartoons was the warning sign.
Adult animation has reached a nadir and it’s all become so derivative that I feel like I know what this show is like without having to watch a minute of it.
All of the humor is supposed to come from the “shocking” things the characters say in sassy voices. The characters’ faces are all bland Family Guy/Rick & Morty designs and don’t look at all like artists sat down and thought about what they should look like, or what makes for a funny or interesting cartoon face. When it comes to cartoon animals, a good rule of thumb is that their faces should be somewhat pleasant to look at, and actually sort of cute, to provide a meaningful contrast for when the snarky comedians’ voices come out of their mouths, because that’s the schtick they always go for these days. A cartoon cat should also have a face that evokes a cat, and a dog a dog, etc, but you have to have some creativity to do that. This cat just has Morty’s face, from Rick & Morty.
There’s a certain artistry to a creative bad review. Not one that screams or uses profanity in a dull manner, but really scathing. The kind of insults that make you realize you would have never used those terms on their own to make fun of something.
The show looks like every other dime a dozen Western adult comedy. They churn these things on an assembly line to the point when something visually unique like Hazbin Hotel comes along it’s treated as the second coming of the Looney Toons.
It sounds like the chose an Ai and did not pay for the full version
I have to say, I just want to watch it to confirm how terrible it is. Maybe that’s what Amazon wants?
I mean she didnt do so bad as grumpy cat back in the day
I’m guessing they wanted to make another BoJack Horseman but put more raunch in it because nowadays adult animation has to be more South Park than sweet. The cast sounds good though.
I think we finally found an animated show worse than Allen Gregory!
(Jerry Seinfeld voice) “She just thinks anything that involves cats is funny”
It actually looks funny
“Let the horse put on her pants.”
Kudos, critic.
