Review of Birdgirl

Birdgirl (2021–2022)
6/10
On it's own, it's fine

If you can seperate it from its original show, it's a half decent laugh. Most of the pilot's enjoyment comes from Birdgirl's delivery, and when the slapstick hits right- which unfortunately isn't too often. The B-plot feels like a bit of a waste, and it is a shame they're backing away from the use of Hannah Barbara characters, but it could be worse. It could be MORE girl bossy. It's following the new adult swim trend of having an emotional moment maybe once an episode, and it could use a stronger supporting cast for Paget Brewster, who's pulling a lot of the leg work voice wise.

That dog with a bucket hat was the only other laugh I got, but it's just the pilot. We could see more cartoon icons to come, assuming their absence isn't an issue with legal licensing this time around.

On it's own, it really is just OK.
