Maybe the best first episode of a show I have ever seen.

This is maybe the best first episode of a show I have ever seen. I really liked this.

Animals. has a very unique idea, that it delivers really good with fun fashion. The idea is: A improvised show where different animals, discuss life and people, and just normal everyday life. In this episode there is three different sections: One (and the main plot) about two rat friends in a party, with the another helping the other to lose his virginity; one where two police horses complain about life and one where two bedbug are having a midlife crisis. My favorite is the rat one.

My favorite segment, the Rats has some really good dialog. The show is improvised, and I really like that, it also provides some cringe humor, that I also really like. It also blends drama and comedy, adding some dark and cringe-worthy humor in the mix. The characters we're nice and the animation was nicely simple and unique looking.

I really liked this show, and I'm really looking forward for more!
