The first installment of this series, highlighting the lives of inner city critters, was not the best choice in my opinion, featuring flies enjoying pet poop then transferring its bacteria back to the pet owner's own hamburger. Then we get to see baby cockroaches hatching! No wait, according to Awkwafina's offhand narrative, baby "cocka-roaches." You're never going to hear David Attenborough say Cocka-roach, which is another thing that sets this show apart--it's not the most educational of the bunch; it's more like a kid-friendly PR piece for the insects most urban kids are likely to encounter, with enough gross details thrown in to hold their interest. The impression I got was, "Look, a bug! Ewwww." Did it make me want to see more? No, but I don't think I'm among the target audience for this show.
