Human Resources

Once I figured it all out, the show is a laugh a minute.

It's hilarious and irreverent.

Basically, take all the human emotions that there are, make them individual characters along with similar work mates and have them advise humans.

What could possibly go wrong?

I hate to admit it but my faves are the sex bugs or whatever they are, the logic guy and the love bugs. Honorable mention to the Corp. Owl.

The show is too funny. Moves quick and steals your attention away.

Before you know it, along comes another fun episode.

Great escapist humor.

Yes it definitely goes way to far but In a world that it can be hard to even speak out about anything , it's nice to not judge and just laugh at this for what it is a cartoon for adults that is just madness and if it's not your thing it's not your thing.

I have always loved Big Mouth, but Human Resources is truly an excellent follow-up. Despite a somewhat rough start, the show really finds it's footing by the end, and makes for quite an unexpectedly emotional ride. I cried so hard watching episodes 8 and 9, both of which were absolutely fantastic episodes. I enjoyed the callbacks to the original show as well, especially with Natalie (the trans character from season 4) who I was dying to see more of, and of course John Mulaney as Andrew. The show is also just really funny at times too, and yes crude, but that'd to be expected of course. In the end, it may not satisfy everyone, but I really enjoyed Human Resources and am looking forward to see more in the future.

I was not convinced at first, expecting the confused pubescent children to show up since they were the ones to supply the laughs. But once you get into the nitty-gritty of it and understand the roles of the hormonal and emotional monsters, you realize that this animated series deals with serious adult issues, from motherhood to dementia, all in good humor (without receiving a slap in the face for it)...

This concept makes a lot of sense to me. I like the franchise and now that the kids have mostly completed their character arcs, the show should go on but now focusing on the most fascinating part: the world building.

I love all the personifications of our emotional needs and this vision of how every person has a teem of spirits to help them navigate the world. The joke is partly that each of these spirits have their own issues to work out if you hadn't noticed.

I wonder if it all mightn't be better if the main focus were the lives of a few humans and the Magic Team was a fun visualization of our neuropsychology but I suppose we already got that with Big Mouth.

A bit hit and miss: they recycle some basic ideas with more than a little smugness, some of which I have reviewed in detail. We have passed the point in which defending new Mothers who don't like their children is subversive, people!

I liked the inclusion of characters glimpsed in BM, like that transexual kid and her family.

Ultimately this show, though not exactly a masterpiece or a sure thing, did have a lot of personality, humor and eventually a lot of pathos.

I would say if you lost interest in Big Mouth before the 5th season then do not bother otherwise, go in with realistic expectations.
