Teenage Euthanasia

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.

A lot of recent animated shows have been awful, duncanville, housebroken, central park.

Adult swim is pretty hit or miss, but this was a better show. It is not to weird like many of their programs and doesn't try and push a political narrative or desperately cling to current trends.

It's worth a watch for now in season 1.

I don't understand the hate. Thought it was a fun, creative show that really fits the Adult Swim profile. I am hoping for a second season but am guessing that won't be happening anytime soon.

Addendum... Second season is here!! Even better than the first. Please Adult Swim keep this GEM of a show going for as long as the voice talent is ready and willing.
