Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 58 /100

Critical reception for Mating Season has been largely mixed, with reviewers frequently comparing it to Big Mouth, the previous animated hit from creators Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin. While some critics appreciated the show's willingness to bring unabashed, explicit adult humor to woodland creatures, others felt the concept leaned too heavily on shock value without delivering enough sharp comedic writing.

“Mating Season does an outstanding job of making that material oddly compelling and delightfully gross.”

“a funny but uneven animated comedy with likable characters, chaotic humor, strong dynamics and solid themes.”

“relies heavily on crudely hypersexualizing animal mating rituals to get a laugh, but lacks the sharp writing necessary to keep it from becoming a running gag that consistently falls flat.”

“Almost Finds Its Rhythm by the End of Rocky First Season”
