Just a few of my thoughts after watching Season 1 of Big Mouth:

The show is filled with crude and gross out humour. It's like there is no filter or limit to what they will show/do. Obviously most of the scenes are so over the top that you can't really take it seriously. Some people will be offended but if you just watch the trailer, it's clear that the show is not going to hold back.

I really liked the animation style, the image was crisp, clean and colourful with no sketchy lines in sight. The voice acting was top quality. I found each character had their own traits, Jay in particular I found very funny. The Hormone Monsters gave the show a real whacky edge. The dead characters and coach Steve were used a bit too often and weren't all that interesting.

My favourite part of season 1 was the Seinfeld scenes, we had the iconic restaurant and theme tune, and then 3 characters sitting round the table. Jessi sounded exactly like Elaine and then Jay came in with some classic Kramer mannerisms. I could easily watch a whole episode of that!

There isn't much more to say really, comedy is subjective so you can't be sure until you try it out. Big Mouth has the potential to go on for at least a few more seasons.
