Animals.
Created by Phil Matarese, Mike Luciano
On HBO
A darkly comic, character-driven animated series that uses anthropomorphic urban animals to explore existential anxiety, moral ambiguity, and the small indignities of city life.
An animated comedy focusing on the downtrodden creatures native to Earth’s least-habitable environment: New York City. Whether it’s lovelorn rats, gender-questioning pigeons or aging bedbugs in the midst of a midlife crisis, the awkward small talk, moral ambiguity and existential woes of non-human urbanites prove startlingly similar to our own.
