Yesterday Netflix announced it iscancelingTuca & Bertieafter just one season.
I am sure Netflix has its reasons.
Also, there are too many TV shows these days anyway.
Some of them have to get canceled, right?
Yes, some of them do.
Some of them should be.
Just notTuca & Bertie, not after only one season.
The animation style is similar toBoJack, as is the preponderance of humanized animals.
The humor is dense and often deployed at a fast pace, as is also the case onBoJack.
But the jokes onTuca & Bertieare more character-driven and less obviously satirical.
Theyre also definitely more female.
No matter what she pursues, shes plagued by the sense that she isnt doing it right.
Tuca, voiced by Tiffany Haddish, has the opposite problem.
Shes doing everything kinda wrong and mostly doesnt care.
Put the two of them together and youve got the ideal I dont know how she does it woman.
The series takes big swings at making this point.
Im Berties dumb, annoying co-worker, Dirk, says Dirk, who is, obviously, a rooster.
(Read: Hes a cock.)
I wear too much cologne, I pronounce it ex-specially, and I usually talk over you.
But I just realized Im a stupid asshole.
Now Im gonna go fuck myself!
(Song title: Im Losing My Shit.)
The jaguar is eventually adopted by the Zen neighbor who lives in the apartment across the hall.
That neighbor happens to be a houseplant.
BecauseTuca & Bertieis already too much, that tendency is undercut.
On top of all of that,Tuca & Bertieis was?
But while all three have or had adult fans, they were primarily aimed at youth audiences.
(Seehere, and alsohere.
)Tuca & Bertieis not a spinoff ofBoJack.
It made sense that we gotTuca & Bertiein 2019, after 2018sBoJack.
The fact thatTuca & Bertiegot canceled less than three months after it showed up?
That just makes no sense at all.
