Teenage Euthanasia

This is a show that definitely knows what it wants to be, which is weird, creepy, and unsettling. It's supposed to make you uncomfortable, which it does excellently. Uncle Pete is a truly repulsive presence, and his sister and mother are not far behind. The show isn't really laugh out loud funny, but it is very intriguing.

The real strength of this show is that it is very intriguing, the premise is fun and they never really seem to forget about it, nor shy away from the gorey details (there are numerous scenes where thousands of beetles pour out of a woman's vagina and do her bidding. It's as disgusting as it sounds, but that's clearly the intent and it suits the story well). The show never feels the need to talk down to the audience, so despite being very clearly satirical of modern society in a lot of places, it doesn't feel preachy.

It's a really, really bizarre show, and not one I'd recommend to most people. I didn't even really know if I liked it until it was completely finished. Definitely give it a shot though, especially if you're the type of person to enjoy ideas that are exceptionally new or shocking, even if they are uncomfortable or poorly executed.

Teenage Euthanasia is probably my favorite Adult Swim show for 2021. Here's why

Music 2/2 - for once, it has an actual theme song!! Thank God!! Theme songs are becoming really rare nowadays, especially for adult animated shows, and this show has a particularly beautiful one.

Voice Acting 2/2 - A lot of talent and emotion put into it.

Writing 2/2 The premise is quite interesting. It revolves around the revived corpse of a teenage mother, who now gets a chance to raise her unplanned child. It doesn't go for the cheap, easy, and overly offensive jokes that certain other adult cartoons do. It instead took a deep look into Trophy's past life.

Characters - 1/2 the reason I rated it a 1/2 is because we don't know much about the other characters as of now, but it still gets a point for Trophy alone.

Animation - 1/2 it's somewhat mediocre, but adult swim isn't known for having Disney-like animation so I'll let it slide this time. Plus, it doesn't have that certain generic style.

Overall, 8/10.

I rated it a 10/10 because it deserves be higher than a 5.5. As I said I the title I think it's a good 8. It's definitely a unique show. Being set in a funeral home in the future is pretty unique, I haven't seen something like that which in my opinion cancels out the "risen from the dead" cliche of a main character. The character designs were also pretty cool, not really something I've seen before. I also found the characters really interesting, season 1 definitely gave us a good look at the characters and I'm hoping season 2 explores them more. The episodes to me are more along the lines of, let's say comfort episodes, where it's pretty easily to binge. I really liked it though. People that left a rating and review before watching all 7 episodes are toxic and should not be on this website. Just my opinion.

Give it a minute to get its footing. This is the only show that deals directly with a mother-daughter relationship where the mom is a malignant narcissist.

It's rough around the edges and crass, but it has something legitimate to say and deserves the time to get to say it. I hope it isn't cancelled before it has the chance to blossom into its potential.

I first became aware of the existence of this cartoon when I was looking to see what projects the incomparable talent Maria Bamford had been occupying herself with lately. This show is a worthwhile investment of her time. I hope that enough people recognize its charm and give it a chance so that it isn't one of the good ideas that gets discarded before it has the opportunity to say something worthwhile. At this point, s02e07, it feels that it's just starting to turn the corner.

I was very concerned this show would be canceled - it's just dissapointing to see so many people here hating on it, and I hope enough people enjoy what to me is a another great, weird, gem of a show that is filled to the brim with uniqueness. Add to that, Maria Bamford's voice talent - and many others.

When I discovered this show, I was extremely joyful - it's got a charm - many shows these days lack and seem to try too hard to find and never do. Hoping that others discover this show and start to like it more, because Adult Swim seems to have this habit of canceling shows just because they aren't the most popular - but they never know what might become a cult classic.
