Days ago, I just watched the new Adult Swim animated series, Birdgirl, a spin-off of one of the most brilliant Adult Swim cartoons, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and I see little charm in it. Let me tell you, we all know that Judy Ken Sebben's father (and mostly one of funniest characters on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law) Phil Ken Sebben is gone for good and Judy refuses to believe it while other characters like the dog character and some Phil Ken Sebben imposter nominated Birdgirl as Phil's successor. Now I want to make this clear, the humor is more of a huge mixbag, sometimes it's kinda unfunny and sometimes it's actually a little clever. Some characters like Meredith the Mind Taker and the Dog with Bucket Hat (I'm sorry, but seriously what kind of a name is that?)
are at least interesting but Meredith is the most interesting one, and the writing...it's not that great, sometimes the writing makes the show kinda boring just like I have the same issue with Mike Tyson Mysteries. Even though I didn't like Mike Tyson Mysteries but at least I find the show a little more better. So there, the writing in Birdgirl is kinda bland and boring, but at least the animation and the art style are decent enough for me to tolerate. Oh and did I metion that this show has lack of any Hanna-Barbera characters? Yes, yes I did mainly because of licensing issures and I'm honestly fine with it because of I don't mind but I do feel sorry for the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law fans who do missed the Hanna-Barbera characters. Birdgirl isn't that great nor good, it's a mixbag cartoon with some high potential. Other cartoons spin-offs like Daria and The Casagrandes are much better and so is Heavy Birdman: Attorney At Law. Birdgirl is a very weak show in my book and if you like the show, that's great but to keep in mind, I don't find the show bad...it's meh. I'll stick to Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and other Adult Swim shows such as Rick and Morty, Final Space, Primal and Lazor Wulf and I'll might as well continue watching Birdgirl if I want to. I give Birdgirl a 5.3/10.
