Big Mouth
This is a show for adults about kids written by adults who remember what it was like growing up. The characters are obsessed with sex, and think about it a lot more than they actually have it. They have problems with depression, anxiety and hormones and the show doesn't shy away from this. The characters also have to deal with divorce, being gay, bisexual and biracial. It is a show that some would write off as 'woke', but I think it captures the real diversity of life. A gay child comes out to his mom, who he has a very close relationship with, and she rejects him. He comes out to his more distant father, and he is totally cool with it. The characters are absurd, and yet so realistic. It's like Family Guy, but funny. There are moments when I'm not paying attention, and suddenly-a gigantic laugh. 5/5
