    Human Resources not only crafts funnier moments and stronger stories [than Big Mouth], but it also creates more delicious chaos around the emotions and hormonal imbalances its various monsters and creatures are meant to represent, saying even more about how we as humans relate to our feelings.

    It’s worth watching on its own, but only by watching the episodes leading to it will an audience member achieve the full experience. And it’s fully an experience worth having.

    Familiarity with Big Mouth may bring in viewers, but Human Resources’ distinctive humor and commentary on humanity will keep them watching.

    Human Resources introduces the brash, imaginative, and at times, genuinely insane comedy that Big Mouth boasts, once again taking weighty, vulnerable topics and exploring them with bombast and (perhaps a little too much) confidence.

    Human Resources proves that there’s both comedy and poignancy yet to be mined from the impulse-creature conceit, even if it can’t fully expunge the aura of being an arbitrary spin-off.

    The result is a show that’s pretty consistently hilarious, if you like the deranged thing Big Mouth does, but inconsistently involving on the emotional levels that make Big Mouth so special.

    Human Resources is by no means a bad show. If you love Big Mouth, it has the same humor and characters that first made you a fan. But it’s also not a show that lives up to its full potential.

The show's first season is a standout success, with each episode offering a unique and hilarious take on the struggles of adolescence.

    The characters are a delight, with the Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, and Shame Wizards stealing the show with their witty one-liners and well-crafted personalities. The animation is also top-notch, with each creature's design perfectly capturing their essence.

    What sets "Human Resources" apart from "Big Mouth" is its focus on the creatures themselves. While "Big Mouth" often centers on the human characters and their experiences, "Human Resources" takes a step back and explores the world of the Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, and Shame Wizards. This fresh perspective offers a new and exciting way to look at the characters we've come to know and love.

    Overall, "Human Resources" is a must-watch for fans of "Big Mouth" and anyone looking for a fresh and hilarious take on the trials and tribulations of growing up. With its sharp writing, memorable characters, and outstanding animation, this spinoff series earns a well-deserved 9/10 rating.    … Full Review »
