You're Not a Monster

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.

So many great people in this show! Kelsey Grammer is so funny as the vampire. I had to watch twice- it's so fast-paced and the jokes don't stop. I can't wait for more episodes!

This is my first review, of anything, on IMDb. I have been using this site for years, but this is the first time I ever felt like doing a review of a show, so that should tell you something...

I am a sucker for witty animation, and this hit the spot! Episodes are on-point, and easy to digest (that's enough of that - on to the review!).

The writer(s) really know their stuff, and the cast are top notch. Each patient, and their issues, were spot on, pop-culture wise. The humour is a good mix: over the top sexual innuendo from Kelsey Grammer, and mostly dead-pan deliveries from the other regular cast. The guest cast are all great, with special mention to Patton Oswalt. Such a distinct voice. I would listen to him doing a reading of the phone book...

The ten episodes flew by, and it was over too soon. I hope there are more seasons planned, as I really want to see how the shock twist ending pans out. Also, is there a future for a Succubus and a therapist, and will he even notice?

Honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this series. Took a chance on an ad, and I'm very glad I did. It's a brilliantly original idea with fantastically witty writing and whimsical characters, backed up with an excellent cast that any fan of the classic horror genre will enjoy. I would love to see more of You're Not A Monster in the future, hopefully in a longer format. I'm eager to get to know the characters and to have their universe fleshed out some more, as I have absolutely no doubt that Mr. Lesser has an abundance of interesting ideas that definitely deserve to be explored

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.
