AnimeMania March 17, 2019 Share March 17, 2019 Illustrator/author/podcaster/horse enthusiast Lisa Hanawalt, best known for designing the Netflix hit BoJack Horseman, is the creator of this similarly animal-oriented Netflix adult animated series centering on the friends and neighbors Tuca (a toucan, voiced by Tiffany Haddish) and Bertie (a songbird, voiced by Ali Wong). Guest voices include Tig Notaro, Tessa Thompson, Reggie Watts, Nicole Byer, John Early, Amber Ruffin, Jermaine Fowler, and Richard E. Grant. Airs FRI / MAY 3, 2019 Link to comment
AnimeMania May 4, 2019 Author Share May 4, 2019 Watched the first two episodes of this, it is so random. So far I am not enjoying it, this animated title has nudity and adult themes just to be more edgy. Link to comment
Kostgard May 6, 2019 Share May 6, 2019 I ended up bingeing the whole season and loved it. The first two episodes are the weirdest/most surreal, but it gets more character driven after that. 6 Link to comment
Eeksquire May 28, 2019 Share May 28, 2019 Agreed - it got much better after the first couple of episodes. On rewatching, I found the pilot episode almost unwatchable given how much I liked the rest of the series and skipped through it. 1 Link to comment
bilgistic June 2, 2019 Share June 2, 2019 I watched the series over the last couple of days and I love it so much. It's like an animated animal version of Broad City. I knew what the Jelly Lake backstory was going to be before it was revealed, but that didn't make it any less heartbreaking. I love the leads, Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong. I highly recommend their comedy specials that are also on Netflix. 3 Link to comment
tennisgurl June 10, 2019 Share June 10, 2019 I was unsure after the first few episodes, as it felt like it went so hard on gross/surreal humor, but I am really glad stuck it out because it becomes really great as it goes on and starts becoming a bit more serious and character driven. Still wacky and funny, but also with a lot more heart. Its basically Broad City but animated and the main characters are bird people. 2 Link to comment

Was there something more that I'm forgetting? He was a touchy and creepy boss who got off on his power, and he did the same thing to the younger intern at the bakery (the roux thing), who told him to back off. Bertie actually stuck up for Pete in that instance, basically saying "that's just how he is" even though she knew it was wrong. The younger intern called her out. If I remember right, Pastry Pete basically pinned them both down with the roux - "smell this, you have to smell it to know when it's done" with his hand on both of their heads so they couldn't move. 1 Link to comment

PinkRibbons August 9, 2021 Share August 9, 2021 I nearly burst into tears during Tuca's imaginespot when Bertie pulled her away from Kara so she could be herself. God Kara is The Worst. And she's shitty in such a perfectly female passive-aggressive way, (not a knock against my fellow females, just props to the writers on her being so real I wanted to punch her). 2 Link to comment

Plus, he took credit for the pastry Bertie came up with while he was away and then blackballed her from all the commercial kitchen and restaurant supply stores. ETA: Does anyone know if this will be available for purchase anywhere as a standalone? I don't get AdultSwim and, while I love this show, I am not upgrading my already ridiculous cable package just to watch it. Edited August 10, 2021 by Eeksquire Link to comment
Galileo908 August 11, 2021 Share August 11, 2021 I've been really enjoying this season. And I'll join in saying Kara just sucks. Tuca being stripped of her personality just for her was just wrong. 1 Link to comment

Will they be sweet or salty? Speckle (Steven Yeun) is also going through some stuff!

bilgistic July 16, 2022 Share July 16, 2022 I continue to love this bizarrely wonderful show. I wish they'd have named Tuca's illness as endometriosis or PCOS instead of just leaving it vague.
