Season 2 Review: In a series already bursting with beautiful sentiments, the stunning world-building immeasurably enhances the experience, helping to make “Tuca and Bertie” stand out in the animation realm, the TV world, and beyond. Read full review

Season 4 Review: These episodes will make you laugh, they’ll make you cry, and they’ll make you crave bug bundts (sounds gross, but trust me, they look good). Tuca & Bertie’s third season proves that entertaining, hilarious, and downright weird television doesn’t have to sacrifice heart. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Based on the first four of the 10 new episodes, Tuca & Bertie 2.0 is slightly less aggressive about getting laughs. It still qualifies as a comedy and certainly contains plenty of scenes and storylines that lean fully into the genre. But it also seems to be embracing its introspective side more openly.

Season 1 Review: More than anything, Tuca & Bertie is just funny. It finds humor in just about everything: in the serious subjects, in the gross things about women that are rarely talked about, in growing into your 30s, in the monotony of long-term relationships, in fun new crushes, and, most importantly, in female friendship.

Season 1 Review: The mismatched moods don’t entirely ruin the show’s fun. But for a project that looks so much like BoJack and borrows so much from Broad City—two comedies with very different but equally seamless approaches to tackling topical issues—that clunkiness is a bummer. Read full review

THIS SHOW IS A ****ING DELIGHT. Its heartfelt, feminist, human and silly and weird. The animation is some of the best in decades, fully embracing what animation can do. Tuca and Bertie are wonderful, real characters. Can't wait for more.

This show is super cool. The illustrator of BoJack Horseman made this this show. Most tv shows we see are from the male perspective but this one is from a woman's perspective which makes it so interesting, real and new. I love Tuca & Bertie.

However, this all-empowering and outrageously creative cartoon work seems to do things differently. Sure, it's more fun than serious, it's more out-there than restrictive, but it's intention definitely isn't lacking, or in respect to that, any less meaningful than what could have been.… 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 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 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

anyone who likes this show is a mental defective. the main voice acting is idiotic, the jokes stink, and the writing is sophomoric. please read some self help books if you think you like this garbage - books on stoicism can help your journey to be free of your ego.
