I don't know. I wanted to like it. The surrealism is great, but there's something about the broader view of the show that strikes me oddly regressive, which is the last thing you'd expect it to be. I suppose I'm not the intended audience, andI don't know. I wanted to like it. The surrealism is great, but there's something about the broader view of the show that strikes me oddly regressive, which is the last thing you'd expect it to be. I suppose I'm not the intended audience, and it's not like I'd hold it against anyone for enjoying the show, but I feel there's a lot of wasted potential here. Good stuff bogged down with content that feels exploitative in a way I can't exactly pin down. Stopped watching after the "plumage" episode.… Expand

This is about a couple bird friends, who live in a world of anthromporphic plants and animals. (To clarify: this isn't in the world of Bojack Horseman. The creator Lisa Hanawalt had been a production designer on that show). Only got throughThis is about a couple bird friends, who live in a world of anthromporphic plants and animals. (To clarify: this isn't in the world of Bojack Horseman. The creator Lisa Hanawalt had been a production designer on that show). Only got through an episode and a half. I wasn't feeling it, but I can see how others would like this.

To it's credit, the world of the show was pretty creative. It's a surreal place, one example being snake subways. Animation is entertainingly quirky.

There are some jokes that were pretty funny, but I felt they were too far apart. A lot of jokes felt a little off-kilter and didn't land with me.

Wasn't the biggest fan of Tuca (Tiffany Haddish). She's supposed to be that rude, self-involved person that you're supposed to end up rooting for because she's a good friend. Yeeeeaaaaahhhh... I'm so tired of that sort of character. It kind of rationalizes bad behavior.

Again, I'm saying this wasn't my thing. I don't think it's necessarily a bad show in general. I'm a guy and this was from a female creator, with female leads, and with a female voice, and I don't think I was the target audience. Hanawalt has a specific voice and I wish her show the best of luck.… Expand

Animation was dull, the characters aren't deep, most of the comedy doesn't land because most of the time it's cheap.

I have watched several episodes over two seasons. I gave this show a chance. But it is horrible. Until I watched Tuca and Bertie, I had never seen any Adult Swim show where I didn't laugh once. All of the men on the show are eitherI have watched several episodes over two seasons. I gave this show a chance. But it is horrible. Until I watched Tuca and Bertie, I had never seen any Adult Swim show where I didn't laugh once. All of the men on the show are either weak-willed useless idiots, bumbling meathead man-children, or sexual perverts who can't go 5 mins without harassing a woman. Yes, there are people like that, but they don't make up a majority of men. This is lazy writing, it's pandering to the "woke" crowd, or being sexist towards me and women. Worst of all...it's not funny. What I don't get is how such an unfunny show can have a 100 on Rotten Tomatoes. I suspect that any negative reviews are flagged on most sites, or people are afraid of saying that this "hilarious and brave" show is unfunny and hacky, with lazy writing and pandering. I'm not. I'm not going to pretend that this show is the greatest animated show ever to be created. It's crap. Unfunny crap.… Expand

This show explores female friendship in a rollicking, funky, expressive bird universe. A great cast gives voice to these charming, self-aware, neurotic strivers. The issues feel specific to 2019. Warning: sexy plant people.
