You're Not a Monster

Actively sought to find this as the concept sounded great. Unfortunately, it's yet another half assed attempt at humor by largely unfunny people. It's too slow, has predictable dialogue and uses the horrorconcept only as a means to deliver this. It's a great shame because there is a lot you could use and explore with the horror character set.

It's like "Les Kassos" had a baby with "Bob's Burgers". It's half decent. I'll keep watching it.

Confession: I did not "LAUGH" (so far)... but I repeatedly was "Amused". I can image it will be a great show for lovers of (old) monster movies. (Of which I am one.) Its an interesting premise: "Therapist of Monsters", and one that could be made great.

A lot of people compared it to "Ugly Americans" (tt1621748), if one has seen that, but also the "Therapist" part could remind some of the crazy patients of "Dr. Katz" (tt0111942)... which is also a cartoon.

However, after watching a few episodes, then the "Trailer" randomly came up, it did show how the episodes seem to be written around one liners. So, the trailer was full of episode SPOILERS, since each episode is short, and the one liner WAS kinda the whole episode, and even some of those seemed to be somewhat "cheesy", when one looks back. So, although they were great when one herd them the first time, they did not age well, when revealed the be the whole point of each episode... So even though one wants to love the show, one starts to understand some of the negative reviews. Possibly not all of us were as star struck (seeing our favorite monsters), and saw through the Emperor's New Clothes?

Personally I loved every episode, and hope there will be loads more. We still have plenty of monsters to choose from.

You're Not a Monster is a fun comedy with heart. There are so many fun nods and allusions for horror fans. The storylines are unpredictable and grounded in relatable characters. It's easy to get engrossed in. My only problem is that there isn't more of it! Definitely check it out.

These short, bite-sized little episodes remind me of "Ugly Americans" - which was a great cartoon we lost way too soon.

I would love to see longer, even 15 minute episodes of "You're Not a Monster". I don't know if the plan is to move forward with anything more than what's already been assembled, but I'm rooting for this little show to find its footing and give us more!
