How sad is this?

Admirable film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Scrolling through the series offerings on HBO, I stumbled across Animals, and decided to check it out. The first episode of season one, though strange, was pretty funny. Much to my surprise, I became addicted. I've watched seven episodes of the first season, so far. Some episodes are funnier than others. Episode seven, which is about flies, is touching. I think this show is worth watching.

I've never written a review on here before, but I was quite honestly surprised at the negative reviews on here and also on other sites. This show has the very best mix of hysterical and quirky and I just love the way creators (Mike and Phil) and their alter-ego "animal" characters all interact, also with the guest cast members/comedians of the week. It really captures the light and shade of urban New York perfectly, and even manages to make it all look somewhat edgy, with a killer soundtrack to boot, (honestly, the music is awesomeness!!) In essence, this show does perfectly what recent New York based show "Vinyl" was trying to do. Vinyl could really take notes from these guys, they are doing it right. I love it, it's a fantastic show. Watch and enjoy! You're welcome🙂

Some of the reviews for this show, are...misguided? I mean, the first review said you should watch "The Simpsons" if you want a funny animated comedy. A bit outdated. "Animals" has its own charm and a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, at least for me. You'll be able to recognize a lot of the voices from the alt-comedy world. Off the top of my head there's Nathan Fielder, Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas, etc. I've yet to watch the third episode, but the first two were unlike anything I had seen before. It's a blend of crude humor, surprising emotion, and outright funniness. Yes, the animation is not good. But, it is purposefully NOT GOOD. The whole point is these animals are caricatures of humanity, which is obvious if you pay even a little attention to the dialogue. These rats aren't suppose to seem like life-like rats, because they aren't, they're just an embodiment of human emotion and stupidity.All in all, this show is not for everyone. That's obvious. It might even take you a few viewings to really understand what the creators are hoping to achieve, but its a great show with vast potential and I hope HBO keeps it running. Also, "The Simpsons" is whatever, go with "Rick and Morty" if you want an awesome animated comedy that isn't this one.

I tried, I really tried. Maybe it's just me, maybe it's a type of humour that just rubs me the wrong way but I find nothing funny about this show. It's not funny, not insightful, the graphic design is bland and to top it all off the voice actors sound dreadfully boring.You'd think I might be missing the irony of the show, but then maybe I'm not enough of a hipster to enjoy it. Yeah, I think that's it. It will probably be a great show for hipsters, so that they can pretend to enjoy the wit (or lack-thereof) and unfunny vulgar jokes that 9 year old boys stopped laughing at when they were 6.Watched about 2/3 of the first episode and stopped. Watched about half the second one and stopped. Will not return for the third one unless they hire new actors, writers, animation artists and screenplays. But then you'd have a good animated comedy with quality jokes and well drawn characters.
