Tuca & Bertie

The art style is unique and eye stunning. Very picturesque and pastel paint splash beautiful. I laughed every single episode, from giggles to jaw hurting laughs, this show connects you to the lifestyles of different women trying to go by life. Ali Wong's performance was incredible but Tiffany's was out of this world!!! I really recommend it, you won't regret watching this must-see hilarious bff show!

Tuca & Bertie is a creative endeavour by Lisa Hanawalt, the art director of BoJack Horseman. But I think we all know that, considering most of this shows' viewers consisting of BoJack viewers.

With that said, its important to keep in mind that this show isn't meant to be compared to BoJack Horseman, but rather an entity of its own. Besides, Hanawalt confirmed they're not in the same universe. (Sorry Mr. Peanutbutter, no crossover episodes here!)

The art direction and the blend of comedic/serious tones are probably the only similar elements to BH. And they're absolutely spectacular on this show. In fact, its clear that Hanawalt had much more creative freedom on this show, considering the increased 'wackiness' of the style synonymous to her original style of anthropomorphism with both flora and fauna -- evident in her self-published books.

Another refreshing element was the pure-feminine aspect of the show, which big and small lifestyle tropes that would be relatable to most women -- a lot of them very intimate. Even the friendship between the two characters is well established and explored, part of the credit goes to the amazing cast.

Despite being a male, I myself could relate to some things the characters go through, and for the others -- I could definitely understand if not relate, which is another testament to the writing and performance.

It took time to get invested into the characters, since the beginning episodes seemed to lack focus and an appropriate balance between style and substance, but it definitely picks up soon. The latter episodes is where the show truly shines.

All in all, this show is definitely worth checking out. It's a binge-worthy show that won't take more than 4 hours to do so. Though the show is promoted as a companion piece to BoJack, we owe it to Hanawalt, the creators and the cast to not callously compare it with the show, since both are unique in their own ways.

For me, Tuca and Bertie is one of those series that you have a hard time connecting initially to the point of dulling your ability to see it fully, but that in the end you give it a chance and you end up liking it in the end.

Although Season 1 had some bizarre moments that made one's eyebrow raise more than once, trying to find sense in some of the situations; and a somewhat slow pacing in the main plot's focus (which slightly substracts interest in the series at times), it has a good plot development, funny moments, and good chemistry between the characters. I also give the animation and the art style used for the flashbacks a thumbs up, I enjoyed it (Especially, the creativity essence).

It's a real shame that Netflix canceled it, overlooking its great potential, but I'm happy that Adult Swim has rescued and renewed it for a second season, because it deserves it.

Really good series.

This is a pretty fun show. It deals with the heavy adult problems we all experienced juxtaposed with fun and vibrant ideas. The style may be from previous series Bojack Horseman but contains a new fresh look into characters with new possibilities for stories. Watch only if you like cartoons with fun characters and a lot of adult moments. I love Netflix! Buddy Thunderstruck Season 2 when?

At first glance this seems like a female centric Bojack Horseman, but while that is a dry exploration of the male ego and depression as a wider philosophical reflection on existence, this is more about the intricacies of everyday life and how it is to be a woman in the modern day. Both shows are important, but vastly different, so while the comparison is understandable, the show stands on its own.

Its easy to get distracted by all the surrealist humour and visuals, and these are indeed great, but they pale in comparison to the underlying realism that the show's writing conveys. So many times in the show something would happen that I could personally relate to women in my life, experiences they have had and how they handled it.

Overall this show is a great mix of surrealist visuals and real world situations that blend seamlessly and is funny and entertaining, while also having something to say about the modern female experience. You might not always agree with the characters or understand what the heck is going on, but there is kind of something in it for everyone and this is a great addition to the other Netflix shows like Bojack, Master of None and Big Mouth that try to capture something real, as well as generate a laugh or two.
