Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

db528 Scrolling through the series offerings on HBO, I stumbled across Animals, and decided to check it out. The first episode of season one, though strange, was pretty funny. Much to my surprise, I became addicted. I've watched seven episodes of the first season, so far. Some episodes are funnier than others. Episode seven, which is about flies, is touching. I think this show is worth watching.

cmkeller75 My husband and I know we have a somewhat twisted and dark sense of humor appreciation. Those of us who have really lived life and been to the bottom and the top and inbetween find humor in the ridiculous. So yes, we definitely find this humorous. Questionable jokes for the inherently oversensitive politically correct profiles that may "try this show a couple of times" - because if you are easily offended by jokes that have nothing to do with you, you may find this show unpleasing or unsettling. For the rest of us that can laugh at the ridiculous story lines and satire of current events through the eyes of animals, it is a blast to watch. A couple of episodes were a tiny bit blah compared to the others, but the majority of them are entertaining, silly, goofy, and frighteningly may remind you of humans you may know. Instead of getting angry and trolling online behind your computer screen about the annoying people you saw today, sit back and laugh with the rest of us as animals portray the silly behavior that humans behave in, and laugh your frustrations away. I love the dogs the most, and the squirrels but we also refer to golf as "white man's white ball" now, thanks to the pigeons. ;) It's not an egg! It's white man's white ball. Hilarious. Enjoy! Or don't. It's really up to you. Same as life. Enjoy it or not, it's up to you.

ctilitoo Firstly, I must say, Matarese and Luciano very clearly intended the animation to be as it is. This is not a 3D, real life, graphically enhanced animation show; it's not intended to be! It actually reminds me of a great comic, The Far Side.I found this show to be rather humorous. The way in which plots are written to actually reflect specific situations each animal could actually find themselves in, IMHO, is pretty creative, and clearly shows the extent of imagination the writers have. I could clearly see several of today's top comedic actors playing in a human version plot.*spoiler*For example:1. The rats... Numerous references about things they all deal with, i.e. The albino lab rat changing; the blue pill; the cracker; taking the cheese after the trap closed... 2. The pigeons... Phil-- oh Phil. I loved Phil. Why? Because bird sexing is extremely difficult because most don't have external genitalia. So to me, because of the plausibility, it was just so funny! And the credits commercial was great. I'd love to see more of those in every ending!3. The cats... The catnip and the shot box with Mike's name carved out on the inside. 4. The horses... Talking about their job preference. Of course I could list every single thing, but these were just a few that stood out because of the originality. The imagination to include all the small details, or simple little statements, are what make this such a unique show. Sure, it is not going to be for everyone, especially if one is unable to see beyond the animation or through the adult humor, and actually delve deeper into the imaginative process of those who had the idea for the show and ran with it!

cefish21 SUPER FUNNY! I changed my review from 8 to 10 when I saw some of the negative reviews on here. All you damn reviewers go a little off the deep end!! This show is so funny. It probably makes you feel something that you don't understand, maybe you don't quite get the humor? So then you feel stupid, then you get angry? Well I am sure the Blue Comedy Tour will be back soon. OK, apologies, enough about the ridiculous reviews. This show is awesome and I look forward to watching it every week. It does not belong on Adult Swim, it belongs right where it is on HBO, can't say "f#@k" on Adult Swim yet. It follows in the tradition of The Life and Times of Tim, or old-school animation from the 90s such as Liquid TV, Beavis and Butthead, Dr Katz. It's alternative humor with low budget animation, and that low budget animation creates a good tone for the show. The show takes human personalities, the hilarity of modern life, our culture of dating, and city life and applies it to the animals around NYC. It's funny to imagine animals with human personalities too. Not to mention all of your favorite funny-people do a voice on the show (list is too long to only mention 1 or 2). Please watch this show, I want to see it come back on next season. And to all you reviewers out there who think your intense opinion of a cartoon on HBO is wanted: Go burn some energy, ride a bike, take a walk, smell the trees and the flowers outside. Grow the f#@k up, care about something that matters, volunteer your time, and get off your damn soap box.
