This isn’t a bait-and-switch situation; the comedy isn’t just a means to get to the drama. The two gel seamlessly as the characters develop and grow together. “Tuca & Bertie” connects on a deeper level than many cartoons, without devaluing the importance of joy, laughter, and good old fashioned fun.
Tuca and Bertie is similarly messy, weird, and loving [as Broad City]—and has the advantage of living in a world without rules. It’s a little terrifying—but full of possibility, too.

Just finished the first season of Tuca & Bertie and I love this show. The writing is outstanding, it's funny and the way they address adult and difficult subjects like anxiety and sexual assault is just exceptional doing with a beautifully sensitive touch. The acting is superb especially from Tiffany Haddish, Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, Nicole Byer, Jane Lynch, Amber Ruffin, Adam Conover, Jenifer Lewis, Reggie Watts, John Early, Laverne Cox, Shamir, Richard E. Grant, and Awkwafina. The animation is phenomenal, I love the style. The music is great. An A+ season first season.

SEASON 1
Their introvert-extrovert dynamic is the most familiar aspect of the show, and early on “Tuca & Bertie” seems to want to cheerlead more than challenge its leads. But the characterization deepens as the 10-episode season moves on. ... What really distinguishes the show, though, is Hanawalt’s surreal vision, the anarchic fluidity of the landscape, the series’s whimsically bending laws of both nature and physics.
In comedy terms it’s more rolling chuckle than laugh-out-loud, and there are sometimes slightly jarring shifts in animation to lo-fi claymation or even sock-puppet styles. Those aside, this is a chirpily realised world that stays true to its experimentalism – and its pleasures are consistent, if deliciously twisted, and very surreal indeed.
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.
The start of Tuca & Bertie often left me confused, even as I enjoyed looking at it. But I stuck with it and soon found myself simply happy to be spending time in the company of these dysfunctional but endearing pals, and eager to see more when it comes.
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.
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.

SEASON 1
This Is a "girl power comedy" + a light version of Bojack Horseman , with 10% of its nihilism.
Most of the character´s issues are solved on the first season with a happy ending.
Characters are charming but some messages are confusing or contradictories.
Lacks the art direction that bojack has, but is simple and funny to watch.
