    Not sure what the point of this show really is. "Animals," they're just like the terrible neighbors you try to avoid. That could be the tagline based on the pilot, which was about Rats having parties, doing drugs, and trying to hook up. Ugh.

    Gave up watching the show half-way the second episode. It wasn't at all funny. Not to mention, terrible animation. Did I mention it's not funny? I honestly can't think of anything positive to say about this show. Who thought this was a good idea?

    This is an offering best served in small doses to really appreciate some of the nuances built into each episode.

    As is the case with a lot of animated shows based in a very alternate reality, you really have to be in the mood for Animals, a hit-or-miss series that weaves a couple of disparate stories of the animals into a half-hour set against the background of a perpetually rainy New York City.

    Though occasionally funny, Animals is just not nearly as edgy as it thinks it is.
