Jason Bateman was touted all throughout the promos for this show. He stars in the first two episodes (the only good episodes), then he completely disappears from the show. He's in jail wrongly convicted. But somehow the show never ever comes back to explain what happened to him, or why his wife/ family never checks on him, etc. It is almost like he never existed at all. I think he shot the two episodes first and then switched his schedule over to Ozark. I really wanted to like this show, but by the end I was so infuriated with the unlocked plot holes, I couldn't even enjoy it. Surprised by the high reviews. It's not terrible, but I can't justify better than a 4 star.

Animals.
(2016–2018)
Criminally Underrated Show
13 June 2019
Happened about this show totally by happenstance. Looking for something to watch while at the office. Gave it a shot just based on the sheer volume of funny people associated with it. 100% glad I found it. Overarching human (no voices)story is dark and twisted, but the animal stories weaved within are funny and cleverly done by some of the funniest in the biz. I think the animation is actually underappreciated. While the animation in is simple in its motions, the artistic style and detail is very well done. Give this show a shot for sure. It is a strange but inventive and funny show.
