What to watch: Big Mouth

If you are in need of a new show to binge on or a movie to spend your time on this Sunday, read this!

This weekend I am binging a show on Netflix called Big Mouth. If you want to relive from an adult perspective the awkwardness of being a teenager, this show is for you. Basically, it's about a bunch of 12-14y old kid going through the changes of puberty and how it seems for them and how they deal with it.

Now this might not seem so funny but in the hands of Nick Kroll and John Mulaney it becomes comedy gold. Wait, of course is sounds funny!! BONERS? HAIR EVERYWHERE? LUST and confusing desire and no clue what to do with it? SHAME and fear of dying in hell for masturbating (true story..)? It is funny. Just not for them.

Being an animation they can pull off a lot of stuff that would have been problematic in a normal show, but here..everything goes! The coolest thing they do is to take it to absurd lengths and everything becomes a hyperbole, a total out of proportion response to what is happening. But isn't this exactly how it feels to be a teenager?

The funniest thing is that each of these kids have a "hormone monster" which is like an invisible beast that pushes them to do crazy stuff and personalizes their sexual awakening and how hormones simply take over your life for a while there. Each of these monsters are really funny and somewhat evil but mischievously so. It's just what you do, right?
And come on, what guy didn't feel compelled to do some very nasty stuff to their pillows, socks...it's not me, it's the monster!!

Voiced by a great cast, this series will leave you feeling a little better after a crazy weekend. And it goes great with some unhealthy food!

Enjoy!
