Created by Gabe Liedman and Nick Kroll in 2017, Netflix’s Big Mouth recently dethroned the highest-grossing series Squid Game and You season 3 to become the most popular show on Netflix US with its fifth season arriving on the streaming platform last week.
Dealing with a variety of themes that plague adolescents with the onset of puberty, including their burgeoning sexuality, mental health issues and other questions, the show is a brilliant and quirky adult comedy cartoon.
A raunchy coming-of-age comedy show, Big Mouth explores a variety of themes relevant to the struggles in this journey of self-acceptance. It deftly deals with the various issues middle-schoolers get entangled in; horny classmates, masturbation, menstruation, unannounced erections, personal drama, social media addiction, domestic disturbances, mood swings, academic and peer pressure — the complete, awkward set.
With puberty being personified into monsters, the show focuses on a group of teenagers who are overwhelmed by the onslaught of adolescence and raging hormones that lead to various emotional and physical changes. With the alienation and disconnect they feel from their bodies along with the pangs of young love and other urges, the relatability of the show reaches its zenith.
The show has a brilliant ensemble cast who voice various characters, with some of the actors managing to voice various other miscellaneous characters. F you always wanted to identify the voices, check out Best of Netflix’s list about the voice cast of the popular cartoon for its fifth season:
