Animation, contrary to popular belief, is not just for children. Over the past several years,
Netflix has started to follow the trend of animated TV series being made for all ages, and of course, for adults. Besides the critically acclaimed shows such as BoJack Horseman or Big Mouth, the streaming platform is also home to many other good series. Here are the best adult cartoons worth watching on Netflix (in random order).
1. BoJack Horseman
The best rated series on Netflix is a comedy about a famous depressed horse struggling with fame and addiction. Set in an anthropomorphic scenario where humans and animals live side by side, BoJack Horseman centers around a horse named Bojack (Will Arnett), star of the
Horsin' Around sitcom in the' 90s.After a decade of unhealthy lifestyle, he began to rediscover his reputation with the sometimes unsatisfactory results. In short, this is a satirical series about Hollywood and the lifestyle of celebrities. Surprisingly, BoJack Horseman can be considered the most genuine and thorough series when it comes to depression. The sharp script and its jokes are multifaceted, humorous but contain hidden situations that bring sadness in the series. Despite being a horse, Bojack is still one of the most "human" characters on the small screen.
2. Big Mouth
I don't know why Nick Kroll's comedy series for teenagers can be both dirty and warm and sweet, but one thing is for sure, it's suitable for viewers who are about to undergo or have experienced puberty (meaning everyone). The main characters of the series are two brothers named Nick (Kroll) and Andrew (John Mulaney), who experience the most traumatic and humorous moments in life at an age where everyone is in trouble. The shameful problems that happened to them were often caused by Maurice - Andrew's Hormone Monster, who enjoyed taking advantage of poor children. Although the problem of the movie presents quite painfully, if you are lucky enough to overcome this "painful" period in your life, you will appreciate its humor.
3. Disenchantment
Disenchanment - The latest work of Matt Groening - the creator of the Simpsons Family is a new animation series ordered by Netflix. The movie follows the rebel princess (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), deciding to give up her royal life to go on an adventure (with 2 friends, 1 dwarf and a demon). Those who have seen Futurama (a science fiction animated series with similar drawings) can see the familiarity between these two shows. The film attracted many anime-loving viewers and with Groening directing its direction, the series did not stop with just one season.
4. F is for Family
Set in 1973, Bill Burr's F is for Family is based on his childhood experience in Massachusetts, and although this is not really a special original sitcom, it is still very clever and blasphemous. humorous, as well as very little detail in the 1970s. F is for Family is suitable for the audience with the same view of the world with Bill Burr - dark, politically incorrect and nor justify itself. Despite being vulgar, the series still has very deep and heartbreaking moments. For those of Burr's age, F is for Family captures vivid moments about what it was like to grow up in the early 1970s.
5. Castlevania
Even people who don't watch adult cartoons have heard of Castlevania, the brand is one of the diamonds on the crown of entertainment company Konami. The animated series based on this same-name game was produced by Netflix and the voice cast starred Graham McTavish as Count Dracula, who determined to take revenge on Wallachia after the death of his wife and Richard Armitage as Trevor. Belmont, the last of the monster-hunting clan, leads the fight against the Earl. The gore and well-balanced series between humans, monsters and gothic-style horror stories, as well as the romantic element when Dracula is portrayed as a villain worthy of sympathy. The series also has very nice brushstrokes and is worth your time to watch.
6. Paradise PD
Those who have a fondness for police comedies must not miss Paradise PD. An adult animated series about a group of bad cops. And the word "bad" here does not mean metamorphosis, but literally its bad is the ability to catch criminals just enough to gnaw. This series is completely unsuitable for audiences who love traditional film because its content is nothing serious and ignores all restrictions, no one will bother it. Being in the dark comedy genre, Paradise PD is a new breeze between so many tv series who don't dare to show their boldness for fear of accidentally offending a group of people. But if you are the one who likes to laugh at the dark side of life, this will be your favorite series.
7. Tuca and Bertie
With the voice of Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish for the two main characters, accompanying them in Tuca and Bertie is the artist of BoJack Horseman Lisa Hanawalt. Bertie is a character suffering from anxiety, likes to bake and live in a hazardous working environment. Her best friend Tuca is loud, likes to party and hates getting married. The two friends together try to hold on to being single, even when Bertie decides to move forward in their long-term relationship and Tuca is struggling to find a foothold in the world. The background of Tuca and Bertie is more pleasant and colorful than BoJack, but still funny and brings thoughtful moments.
8. Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty is another worth watching series of the adult cartoons available on Netflix, revolving around the endless adventures of Rick, a genius alcoholic and careless scientist, and his nephew Morty, 14. Age, a kid is not very smart. Together, they explore the timelessness of universes and rebel wherever they go. Rick and Morty is rated as one of the best animated series that the audience has ever seen on any channel. Honest and straightforward, the film will smash anyone's fantasy of a pink life with facts that are both scientific and ironic. Creative and humorous, this is an adult cartoon for those who need to relax and laugh in this dark time.
