Even for a cartoon character, going through puberty isn't easy for a young person. Big Mouth - Season 1 follows how some teenagers cope with this moments.
Big Mouth comes in strong and delivers an impressive debut season. May this thing spread as quickly as a seventh grade rumor and there be many more years to come.
Even better than the laughter that Big Mouth elicits might be the relief that most viewers have passed that age when each new day brings with it a different way for the soul to shrivel. We'll never be young again -- thank mother-bleeping goodness.
If Big Mouth manages to maintain this level of absurd-yet-relatable comedy, then we can rest easy knowing that series may become one of Netflix's flagship properties.
As over the top as some of the bits are, Big Mouth is likely to strike a chord of remembrance in adult viewers. If so, the memories probably won't be quite as filthy or funny as they are here.
Big Mouth may not add a lot of fresh wisdom to the portrayal of adolescent sexual awareness, but it also doesn't wallow in mere dirty jokes. It gives its characters, male and female, some rueful wit in their vigorous pursuit of carnal pleasure.
