Season 2 – Animals.

2017 Comedy Animation List
100% Tomatometer 6 Reviews 81% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings
HBO's decidedly adult animated comedy series ventures into the nether regions of Earth's least inhabitable environment, New York City, which is home to a motley crew of downtrodden creatures. Whether it's lovelorn rats, gender-questioning pigeons or aging bedbugs in the midst of a midlife crisis, the awkward small talk, moral ambiguity and existential woes of non-human urbanites prove remarkably similar to those of humans. Created by Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano -- who voice many of the characters -- and produced by Jay and Mark Duplass ("Togetherness"), the series features such guest voiceover artists as Eric Andre, Jessica Chastain, Rob Corddry, Horatio Sanz, Molly Shannon, Ellie Kemper, Marc Maron, Wanda Sykes, Cobie Smulders and Jon Lovitz.

Ben Travers indieWire Animals is undoubtedly what's promised in one of the show's taglines: "a new breed of comedy." May 30, 2018 Full Review Michael Andor Brodeur Boston Globe An animal perspective on humans makes clear who the real beasts are; and the sewers seem civilized by comparison. Apr 28, 2017 Full Review Denise Petski Deadline Hollywood Daily Whether it's lovelorn rats, gender-questioning pigeons or aging bedbugs battling a midlife crisis, the awkward small talk, moral ambiguity and existential woes of non-human urbanites prove startlingly similar to our own. May 30, 2018 Full Review Ben Pearson Slashfilm One of the strangest shows to hit the small screen in the past few years. It imagines what the creatures in and around New York City would do if they had recognizable human problems. May 30, 2018 Full Review Joseph Baxter Den of Geek The dialogue comes across as witty and sophisticated, typically culminating with a twist. May 30, 2018 Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider I can't think of a better show to guide us through 2017 than this bitingly funny series about the inevitability of death in New York.

alonso i This is the best season of the series. It's a bizarre and provocative adult show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed season 1. Season two was just as funny. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member About as good as last season, which I don't like as much by the way, I'd probably say they're both 6/10's. Also, the episode Humans was fucking dogshit. I guess that could technically make this season worse, because there wasn't a 1/10 episode last season. Also, I liked how the story ended at the end of this season, but it felt like a series finale, not season finale, and I think that it was supposed to be because I doubt they thought they were getting renewed. I may watch next season. Also, I had almost finished writing a review for this before this review, but then my browser I'm using for this crashed.! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Such an underrated show.... you need to not take this show seriously at all and space out to enjoy it.
