The title of "social worker" doesn't seem to justly describe Mark Lilly's job. Perhaps "social miracle worker" comes closer. He's the central figure in this animated horror-comedy series, set at the Department of Integration in New York, where Lilly begins the process of helping new citizens -- both human and "other" -- adapt to life in the Big Apple. Providing as little help as possible are his co-workers, including demonic bureaucrat Twayne, drunken wizard Leonard Powers, surly law enforcement head Frank Grimes and succubus Callie Maggotbone, Lilly's casual fling.

John Teti AV Club This might sound like a setup for outsized silliness, but the characters of Ugly Americans are matter-of-fact about the lunacy that surrounds them. Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Kris King Slant Magazine Ugly Americans's interesting setting is just sort of there for the sake of being weird. Rated: 2/4 Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post "Ugly Americans" is a clever and often funny twist on the notion of Manhattan as the great melting pot. Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Cyriaque Lamar io9.com Like the strange fellow whizzing on your briefcase during rush hour, Ugly Americans exhibits signs that it's finding its way, but overall the spectacle of its urban circus is too heady to miss. Apr 11, 2018 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Wow. There are barely words to describe how bad the new animated series "Ugly Americans" is.

Kyle C Ugly Americans is a wildly underrated gem of animated television—an insane, twisted, and darkly hilarious ride through a version of New York City teeming with monsters, demons, and the downright bizarre. Its unique animation style perfectly complements the show’s sharp, irreverent writing, which brilliantly satirizes bureaucracy, relationships, and the absurdities of modern life. Every element clicks, from the relentless comedy to the devilishly clever world-building. The standout voice cast brings these characters to life with pitch-perfect performances—Matt Oberg’s everyman charm as Mark Lilly, Natasha Leggero’s sultry and chaotic Callie Maggotbone, Michael-Leon Wooley’s gloriously over-the-top Twayne Boneraper, and Kurt Metzger’s hilariously unhinged Randall Skeffington. Ugly Americans is one of the best animated series ever made, and it deserves far more recognition than it ever got. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Lucifer M One of the most original adult animated series of the 2010’s and it’s criminally insane how underrated this show is. Taking the “melting pot”city concept and flipping it on its head, making it a world where “melting pot” is both literally and exaggerated. The beauty is finding real humanity in such an irreverent and eccentric premise; which are definitely there, by the bucket loads. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Nigel P Smart and hilarious! If you enjoy the whacky adult humour of Rick and Morty, watch this. And the created world of humans, creatures and hell beings living side-by-side is fascinating. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Intelligent,funny with good caracters and a great social criticism. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Netflix should renew this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
