Tuca & Bertie

A hidden gem. First episode might seem off putting and obnoxious but if you enjoy shows like Big Mouth and Bojack Horseman, you will probably love this too.

Lacks the bleak plot line that makes Bojack so phenomenal, but does double down on the art direction and visual gags. It's almost a case of freezing every frame to catch each pun and background character. That said there is a plot line which is unfolding, one that approaches the real challenges of being a woman in an urban environment and the anxieties that fall out from confrontations that are faced in daily life. Generic description, I know, but worth diving into to check out.

Pretty nice. Quite sad about the cancellation. It wasn't the best, might have to do with me being neither a Tuca nor a Bertie but something in between, but it was so full of heart and lively and lovely and great and unique. Wish it could have continued longer.

[through season 3]

Really refreshing social commentary. I feel like the real world is often portrayed as a place that has right or wrong answers and I like that this show makes it clear none of us really know what we’re doing. I especially liked how HR was depicted because that is exactly what HR is like. There are quite a lot of unrealistic happy endings but it’s nice to watch the characters you like succeed from a combination of luck and work, even if that part is unrealistic.

[season 1]

S1: 78, S2: 65, S3: 68

Loud, colourful, empty calorie (with quick cuts to random things instead of actual jokes) children's show with smoking, drinking, cursing, and tits.

Daring! (but whiny). (they should absolutely keep making this please)
