Jockecoca B this is fresh! a lot of similar shows dont get all the way Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review John R Hilarious show that uses the main character's different outlooks for great comedic value. Incredible style as well! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Jason B Gloriously bizarre and unsettling. If you like "weird", chaotic animation and humor--check it out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Jorge R The best adult swim show ever made.🤩 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Audience Member It was awesome, its perfect for gen z humor, completely random and unexpected moments Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Audience Member It was a little too absurdist for my tastes. They tried to make it dark and edgy by combining innocence aesthetics with mature topics, but it just didn't work out in my opinion because the edgness had no plot reason. It also wasn't terribly funny, But instead borderline insensitive. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
