Teenage Euthanasia

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 don't understand why the rating is so low when this show is pretty creative. The style, the plot, and the overall showmanship of it is wonderful. I will say some of the first few episodes might not be for everyone but hey that's the first few episodes ever! They got their flow in the last few episodes.

I really hope for a season 2 because it really shows a lot of potential for a funny adult swim shows in the midst of this awful set of few years for animated shows. Animation needs a revival and I think giving more shows like these chances keeps the animation community alive. If you're looking to get into this show I'd say watch the entire show start to finish before giving a review on it. It really will start to grow on you :)

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.

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.

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.
