Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 3d
3/4
Episodes mine comedy gold and will make you shoot water out of your nose at least once. But underneath its potty-mouthed humor, it’s sweet, accentuating how true-blue friendships can help each other survive the calamities of the dating and mating scene. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 3d
Mating Season offers plenty of amusement and the potential for growth is clear, even if for now you’re mostly there to laugh at the boffing bunnies, amorous antelopes, defiling deer, randy raccoons and prurient ponies. Go to Full Review Alison Herman Variety May 23
...“Mating Season” retains enough profanity and playfulness to create a distinct family resemblance with its predecessor, if not deliver a one-to-one subsitute. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 5d
Mating Season has a couple of chuckleworthy moments in the first episode, but it’s trying too hard to be “adult” to give the characters a chance to develop. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire May 23
6/10
Full of surface-level jokes and references, Mating Season is a fine but lesser project from Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg. Go to Full Review Jorge Rivera Rubio QiiBO May 23
4/5
Just like Big Mouth, finds a delicate balance between raunchy and clever comedy, dispersing life philosophy mixed with sex jokes. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Air B @RT88506760 2d The series started terribly with its first 3 episodes; everything revolves around sex, which is to be expected given the creator's sense of humor. As the series progresses, it becomes more "decent," but that's all it is; it doesn't stand out in any way. There are 2 or 3 episodes that are actually very good, but other than that, the rest are just sex and animals. See more aw3s0m3 P @sh1nych4rlie 3d I really like the educational information about the behaiviors in animals. The 4 characters who are there since the beginning create a comforting atmosphere, their friendship feels really genuine and its fun to explore more of their lore and character throughout the show. It has fun ponds and the love stories are cute and relateable. See more Tanya A @RT44611482 3d Hilarious. Loved it. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Please do another season. Love all the guest actors on it. See more Zalfinn en cuarentena T @RT23597698 4d The Best A revolutionary series that will change the era of adult animation; keep watching for more episodes! See more R M @RT37493395 4d I have such Hollywood fatigue. Anything that comes out of California anymore I can't stand. Do better! See more Jeff G @BobbyBacala 6d Dear Hollywood. Stop it. Knock it off. Be better. See more Read all reviews
