5 Reasons You Should Watch "Mating Season"!

From the creators of Netflix's hit animated series "Big Mouth", "Mating Season" is the perfect new raunchy animated series to binge-watch. Released on May 22, the show follows a group of various forest animals who explore love and connection in the wild. Here are 5 reasons why you should jump on the hype train and start watching now!

1. From the Creative Minds Behind "Big Mouth"

Created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett, "Mating Season" shares the same core creative team as "Big Mouth" and "Brutus Pink". The show's bawdy jokes and psychologically driven narrative carry over the team’s same sensibility into the new world and premise. So, if you were a fan of "Big Mouth", chances are you’re going to fall in love with this new quirky romp.

2. A Fresh Animalistic Spin on Love and Sex

As an adult animated romantic comedy series, "Mating Season" uses animal behaviors and mating rituals to add humor and intrigue to modern dating woes. From bears and raccoons to deer and foxes, the show traverses the wide forest ecosystem and illustrates diverse approaches to dating, hookup culture, and relationships. Odd biological realities become running gags that propel this sensational story into new territories, vastly different from your typical romantic comedy series.

3. Tackles Complex Subjects with Surprising Depth

Similar to "Big Mouth", "Mating Season" has a unique ability to ground its lewd jokes with relatable real-world experiences. Across its 10 episodes, the writers do not shy away from issues of messy relationships, work-spouse dynamics, sexual performance anxiety, polyamory, and much more. The constant onslaught of raunchy jokes makes these select moments of emotional honesty all the more impactful, giving the show a real heart that seeks to help people and animals alike navigate intimacy and insecurity.

4. Funny and Unique Worldbuilding

This show does not shy away from its explicit jokes and forest-fueled narrative. Viewers know exactly what they signed up for from the start: wild animal facts, clever wordplay, and absurd visual gags. The world of the woods provides the perfect setting for the comedy to unfold, letting mycelium networks lecture a fox on scarcity versus abundance mindsets and critters dressed up in signature articles of clothing crack witty one-liners.

5. Polished and Bright Animation

Finally, Titmouse’s vibrant animation style takes the R-rated content and spins it into something that feels much cleaner and more nostalgic, much like 1990s and 2000s Saturday morning cartoons. This further enables the show’s humor through the contrast between vulgarity and charm. Despite the seeming contradiction, the show walks this line beautifully and captures the nuance of real-world relationships.

So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to sink your teeth into "Mating Season", now streaming on Netflix!
