Praise Petey

Don't take this show so seriously. It's chaotic, excellently casted, and the art isn't awful like so many of these types of shows. The writing is genuinely clever and satirical. It's a fun romp with a unique story: a city girl inherits a small town with a twist. Lots of self-aware and purposefully ham-fisted commentary on society and cliche shows. The art is legit cute, with more varied movements than similar pop-up shows. The characters are a lot of fun, and played very well. The colors are interested and the character, clothing, and setting design keep the eye busy. Anyway, I don't have much else to say. Here are some words. Enjoy them. I love you, bye.

This show is different but it's so funny! The humor is dry to raunchy humor like a mix of Broad City and Schitts Creek (Annie Murphy is the leading lady's voice). It's the first season of an animated show so the build up is somewhat slow and some jokes didnt land but I was instantly hooked from the first episode because of the storyline. It's different and crossing some borders with making fun of cults and New York's snooty rich people. It's a short 6 episode season and I do hope Freeform gives it a chance to be renewed for a second season. I feel like it has potential to be a good animated comedy show.

My name is Rich Drezen, and before I go any further, yes. I am related to the show's creator. She is my sister. She didn't ask me to write this. She did not ask me to praise the show. She didn't ask me to work on the show, even though I'm a professional cartoonist. I'm glad. The team that was put together knocked it out of the park.

I fell in love with the show even before seeing what the characters looked like or knowing what the premise was. Annie Murphy alone was worth the price of admission, and although she's well known for her role of Alexis Rose in Schitt's Creek, her voice explores the dynamic of a spoiled rich kid with such dimension that I grew to believe in what the character stood for immediately.

Every single one of the supporting cast is a home run. John Cho especially gives a dynamite performance as Bandit, Petey's recurring frenemy. Amy Hill and Christine Baranski are icing on the cake as Mae Mae and Petey's mom respectively.

Having known my sister her entire life, you'd think I'd know everything there is to know about her, and you'd be wrong. Knowing my sister's sensibilities about the world she sees with her eyes, this show has allowed me to get to know my sister in ways that go beyond conversation. I'm not even referring to personal stuff, I'm referring to observations about people, values, traditions, and other quirks about this crazy world we live in. In the pilot episode: Ed, Edd and Eddy fans may appreciate Petey's boyfriend, Brian, who is actually a wooden board.

The team assembled for this show has succeeded, I feel, in creating a show for everyone. While admittedly it is bittersweet that this show premiered during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, it's encouraging that creativity is alive and well and thriving. I am hopeful that the strikers get a much better deal than that they've been dealt. That notwithstanding, go watch the show and form your own opinions.

I'm really loving this show. I got the trailer recommended to me but decided to go in blind. I've watched the 4 episodes that have been released so far and it's really appealing. The art style and animation are very aesthetically pleasing and the humor is up my alley. I will admit i was worried this would be another generic adult cartoon but i feel like the humor is quite fresh. It isn't some overly negative or nihilistic drag and embraces the humor of its concept. I've seen people complain about the "satanic" elements but that just feels silly. Im worried this show won't make it to a second season, given how animation is treated nowadays. ESPECIALLY adult animation. The average consumer writes original shows off then complains when more unoriginal content is pushed out. I'd say give this a shot. Anna Drezen and her crew are doing good work. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. It's a shame it's only 10 episodes though. Fingers crossed for a second season. If not, i'll await future works from anyone in this crew.

The show is about a shy woman named Petey. Her estranged father dies and she inherits a cult. She lost her job and now she has to run it. The show would be fine if it wasn't for the horrible dialogue. Every 5 seconds there has to be a self aware quip. Self aware quips work best when done in moderation. I am being literal when I say this show has them every 5 seconds. In addition to being unfunny, it gives all the characters the same tone of voice. In a well written show, all the characters would talk differently similar to how real people talk differently. If this show didn't have the awful self aware dialoge I would give this show a 7. The art style looks pretty good. The character proportions are more realistic and it doesn't look Family Guy inspired.
