Vermin

2018 · 1 season

A quick, mean-spirited workplace cartoon that mines awkward office misery and insect absurdity for uncomfortable laughs.

Overview: It’s the story of a praying mantis who goes off the city to become a policeman and is going to suffer a lot. It’s a bit like Zootopia but without being tolerant.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, corruption, identity, power
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
