Synopsis

An animated comedy focusing on the downtrodden creatures native to Earth’s least-habitable environment: New York City. Whether it’s lovelorn rats, gender-questioning pigeons or aging bedbugs in the midst of a midlife crisis, the awkward small talk, moral ambiguity and existential woes of non-human urbanites prove startlingly similar to our own.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
db528 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.
lacatusalexandru Animals may not be as popular as the well known animated shows like:South Park,The Simpsons,Rick and Morty,Archer and Futurama and that's because the show was released last year(2016) and that's makes it a newbie around the other great animated shows,but the show is only at the beginning and it still has a lot of potential to become very popular or even as popular and great as Archer or Rick and Morty but that remains to be seen.The thing is that Animals would have been well known by the audience if it was on Adult Swim or Netflix,rather than being on HBO.Channels like Adult Swim or Netflix know how to highlight the best of a TV show and how to promote that show.What I liked about this show were the humor and the funny jokes as well as the original story.
barb-66056 Let me say that I came late to this series and when I saw one episode I immediately went to on demand and grabbed the rest of them to catch up. I cannot stop talking to my friends about this show. It is irreverent and wonderful. HBO better renew this for at least 6 seasons! If anyone is left out there with a true sense of humor, an imagination and a brain, this is the show for you. I love the whole concept and of course NYC is the perfect place for the setting. I hope HBO puts this on DVD so I can buy 10 sets for my friends and family. This is guaranteed to make you laugh if not cry with the weekly chosen species. I am looking forward to buying the box set after 7 seasons......hint, hint HBO! Give this a chance to grow as more people that see it will truly tell their like- minded friends and family. I know at 4 people that are signing up for HBO just because I showed them one episode. Genius writing and casting. Thank you to the writers for this gift.
ctilitoo Firstly, I must say, Matarese and Luciano very clearly intended the animation to be as it is. This is not a 3D, real life, graphically enhanced animation show; it's not intended to be! It actually reminds me of a great comic, The Far Side.I found this show to be rather humorous. The way in which plots are written to actually reflect specific situations each animal could actually find themselves in, IMHO, is pretty creative, and clearly shows the extent of imagination the writers have. I could clearly see several of today's top comedic actors playing in a human version plot.*spoiler*For example:1. The rats... Numerous references about things they all deal with, i.e. The albino lab rat changing; the blue pill; the cracker; taking the cheese after the trap closed... 2. The pigeons... Phil-- oh Phil. I loved Phil. Why? Because bird sexing is extremely difficult because most don't have external genitalia. So to me, because of the plausibility, it was just so funny! And the credits commercial was great. I'd love to see more of those in every ending!3. The cats... The catnip and the shot box with Mike's name carved out on the inside. 4. The horses... Talking about their job preference. Of course I could list every single thing, but these were just a few that stood out because of the originality. The imagination to include all the small details, or simple little statements, are what make this such a unique show. Sure, it is not going to be for everyone, especially if one is unable to see beyond the animation or through the adult humor, and actually delve deeper into the imaginative process of those who had the idea for the show and ran with it!
