Mating Season is an adult animated comedy on Netflix centered on extreme sexual activity among forest animals. The series uses raunchy, goofy humor with occasional heart, aiming for punchlines often involving bodily fluids. It follows Josh, an awkward bear voiced by Zach Woods, whose partner leaves him when he hibernates too long. Ray, a horny raccoon voiced by Nick Kroll, and Penelope, a fox voiced by Sabrina Jalees, explore sexuality across species. Fawn, voiced by Raphael, develops a rom-com style arc involving a wolf voiced by Timothy Olyphant, built around the trope of trying to change a difficult partner.
"The latest adult animated comedy on Netflix will work significantly better for fans of "Big Mouth" than those who never took to the streaming giant's hit animated series about horny teenagers and the literal monsters that shape their lives. It's not inaccurate to describe "Mating Season" as "'Big Mouth' with animals instead of high school kids." There's a tiny bit less of the abject shame that comes in those days of embarrassing adolescence, but the sense of humor in this follow-up from creators Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, and Jennifer Flackett is nearly identical: Raunchy, goofy, a glimmer of heart, and then hitting a punchline with a bodily fluid."
"These are creators who endeavor to get away with things in animation that they never could in live action, actually using the medium in inventive ways. Well, eventually. "Mating Season" gets off to a truly rocky start, but, and I can't say for sure if it finds its footing or if I just joined its silly wavelength, I was almost sad to run out of screeners. It won't be the same size hit as "Big Mouth,' but it's a reminder of the talent of its remarkable cast."
""Mating Season" is about the extreme sexual activity of forest animals. You've never seen Bambi quite like this. Zach Woods (a perfect swap, in tone with John Mulaney from "Big Mouth" if you think about it) plays Josh, an awkward bear whose partner leaves him when he hibernates longer than he should. Kroll voices Ray, a horny raccoon who, well, gets around. Sabrina Jalees brings to life a fox named Penelope who explores her sexuality, sometimes with another species. Raphael takes on Fawn, and she wonderfully leans into playing this deer as really just a variation on a strong rom-com lead."
"For example, she gets a season-best arc with a wolf voiced by Timothy Olyphant that's really just a riff on the trope of a woman who believes she can change a difficult man. It's just that the man in this case is pis"
