Toucan Birdy is good ("Tuca and Bertie" thread)

Post by Mr. Big (?) » Mon May 06, 2019 2:09 pm

A new show on Netflix, about two bird-women and their life. It's from the same team that does "Bojack Horseman", but this show is a lot more upbeat and bouncy, with REALLY cartoony animation.

I watched the first two episodes so far. The first one deals with Bertie's boyfriend moving in, with Bertie accidentally giving his grandma's ashes to Tuca. It gets weirder from there, involving a plant woman and her turtles, a baking competition, and more.

The second one deals with Bertie trying to get a promotion at work, but kept getting pushed aside by a jerk employee who sexually harasses her, causing her boob to pop out and get a drink because she had enough of that shit.

Honestly liking this more than "Bojack" so far. It's refreshing to see an adult cartoon that's, you know, a cartoon. It's also one of the very rare adult cartoon that's created by a woman, so there's that.

The show just stays weird throughout

And we even had a mini Bojackesque heartbreaking scene a few episodes in.

i kind of feel like this series was the bojack team apologizing for the fact that bojack got rick sanchezed in some circles, turned into an icon for how to behave or an excuse for toxic behavior despite them telling you this was a broken person not to emulate, you saw it a lot in the last season where that they were pushing that bojacks mental illness was not an excuse for his toxic masculinity, but the damage was done. dunno if we'll see a bojack season 6

tuca and bertie was some good shit though, as someone who has a lot of anxiety issues bertie was great to live in the headspace in

it was also fun to have the LORE just thrown out and acknowledge that the 'world' is a nonsense void to fill the edges around the characters in their interactions

it was also really nice to see a program that acknowledged that the manic all or nothing life tuca exemplifies is profoundly deranged and driven by unhealthy attitudes. most entertainment programs adores, adulates, and exemplifies this terrible life-destroying behavior as something to emulate. T&B kind of leans into this territory early on in the episode where Tuca forces herself into Berties work life, but it quickly course corrects

Honestly, that was very refreshing for me. So many shows these days seem to be obsessed with its lore, it's nice to see something that doesn't take it seriously.

It's wild that we're now living in an age where a show can get booted from Netflix and then rescued by a TV network.

Good for them! I'll watch whatever they produce.

Season 2 is so far not bad. It has a ton of processing interpersonal problems sprinkled with personal demons.

What a ride. The last episodes are f-ed up. You'll know what I mean when you see it.

I hope that there will be a season 4.
