Out of the many ongoing comedies that discuss the trials and tribulations of navigating everyday life as a millennial, no show has come close to being as distinctly imaginative and profound as tucaandbertie. Rendy_Jones has more:
)—living in an anthropomorphic animal and plant city, and has made its place as one of the best adult animated series airing today. After its unprecedented Netflix cancellation in 2019 immediately following its inaugural premiere—one of the dumbest mistakes the streamer has made—Adult Swim swooped in and picked up the show.
Picking up after the events of Season 2, the titular duo have entered a new chapter in their lives. The junior season finds Tuca and Bertie attempting to restructure themselves after the destructive flood and moss that infiltrated their city of Birdtown. Bertie’s pursuit of her independent baking service gets put on the backburner when she begins a new job offer working for a famous chef idol of hers.
Much like the previous seasons, the colorful, ever-changing world-building of Birdtown paves way for Hanawalt and her team of writers to explore the intrusive psyche of her characters and discuss thematic material that resonates with fellow millennial viewers. A great example comes in the recent episode titled “The One Where Bertie Gets Eaten by a Snake,” where Birdtown is infested by baby snakes who are straight up eating folks across the city.
Season 3 has become more Tuca-focused; her plights are often the central focus in each episode thus far and she’s dealt more obstacles than Bertie. Three episodes deep and the show has Tuca facing imposter syndrome, the frustrations of female pelvic pain during the menstrual cycle, and a tree boyfriend who drinks heavily, which messes with her sober lifestyle. Due to her dating a tree, let’s just say his leaves become part of the metaphor that cuts real deep.
Adult Swim may have put some bumper railings on the side, limiting the amount of raunch that they got away with on Netflix, but the show is more confident because of it. The writers have honed the dialogue-based jokes and are more subtle with their depiction of the topical themes that are presented. With the new model being that HBO Max drops each aired episode a day after it premieres on their streamer, it might as well still be as it was on Netflix, for they come uncensored.
