Animals.

2016–2018 · 3 seasons

A deadpan, improvised-feeling comedy where talking city animals air petty existential grievances, funny and quietly sad in equal measure.

Overview: An animated comedy focusing on the downtrodden creatures native to Earth’s least-habitable environment: New York City. 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 startlingly similar to our own.
How it feels: Absurd, cynical, melancholic and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, isolation, loneliness, survival
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
