Animals observe, imitate humans in crude animated comedy.

In a sea of new television offerings, it's hard to dismiss something with as strong and focused a voice as this, even if it may not be your cup of tea.
February 03, 2016
It is unfunny, its animation is unexceptional and the studied banality of its dialogue is excruciating.
February 05, 2016
An amiable and ambling amusement but rarely much more than that, Animals is most notable for how weirdly committed it is to furthering a sense of inner-city ennui.

The deadpan approach only enhances the delicious off-the-wall comedy of Animals. The series is batty and brilliant as it turns the whole notion of anthropomorphic cartoon animals on its fuzzy ear.
February 08, 2016
Animals is a comedy that largely ignores character and story, choosing instead to lean almost solely on its concept, which isn't even that funny or original to begin with.

To stand out and survive now you have to be both great and lucky -- being a jaded, foul-mouthed animal isn't enough.

The ridiculousness of it all is what makes the show work its magic.
February 04, 2016
Unfortunately, the writing isn't consistently funny enough to make up for the, well, shaggy dog storytelling.

It's in that cleverness that Animals could develop a loyal audience, but its very specific tone and alienating animation also makes it a hard sell. Luckily for those in the former camp there will be time to spread the word.
