Teenage Euthanasia

I was very concerned this show would be canceled - it's just dissapointing to see so many people here hating on it, and I hope enough people enjoy what to me is a another great, weird, gem of a show that is filled to the brim with uniqueness. Add to that, Maria Bamford's voice talent - and many others.

When I discovered this show, I was extremely joyful - it's got a charm - many shows these days lack and seem to try too hard to find and never do. Hoping that others discover this show and start to like it more, because Adult Swim seems to have this habit of canceling shows just because they aren't the most popular - but they never know what might become a cult classic.

Within the past month, first Duncanville gets cancelled and then Close Enough gets cancelled. What's up next in the agenda of The Cancellations of 2022? Well, the answer to that question may very well be Teenage Euthanasia. This show has, throughout its life, been WAY more 'cancellable' than Duncanville or Close Enough ever were, which is extremely concerning and something that should ABSOLUTELY not be ignored!

That's not to say this show is bad, quite the contrary, it's actually really good, and is probably my most favourite recent animated show. It's just that this show has a bad reputation among many people who misunderstand it for what it is, which may very well lead to its cancellation.

Anyway, the point I'm getting at is to NOT take Teenage Euthanasia for granted and to make the most of it while it's still ongoing! Season 2 has been renewed, which is a good start, but will Season 3 be renewed? That's a question that worries me every single day. I really hope it does, but then there's a chance it won't.

Teenage Euthanasia is probably my favorite Adult Swim show for 2021. Here's why

Music 2/2 - for once, it has an actual theme song!! Thank God!! Theme songs are becoming really rare nowadays, especially for adult animated shows, and this show has a particularly beautiful one.

Voice Acting 2/2 - A lot of talent and emotion put into it.

Writing 2/2 The premise is quite interesting. It revolves around the revived corpse of a teenage mother, who now gets a chance to raise her unplanned child. It doesn't go for the cheap, easy, and overly offensive jokes that certain other adult cartoons do. It instead took a deep look into Trophy's past life.

Characters - 1/2 the reason I rated it a 1/2 is because we don't know much about the other characters as of now, but it still gets a point for Trophy alone.

Animation - 1/2 it's somewhat mediocre, but adult swim isn't known for having Disney-like animation so I'll let it slide this time. Plus, it doesn't have that certain generic style.

Overall, 8/10.

I don't understand the hate. Thought it was a fun, creative show that really fits the Adult Swim profile. I am hoping for a second season but am guessing that won't be happening anytime soon.

Addendum... Second season is here!! Even better than the first. Please Adult Swim keep this GEM of a show going for as long as the voice talent is ready and willing.

A lot of recent animated shows have been awful, duncanville, housebroken, central park.

Adult swim is pretty hit or miss, but this was a better show. It is not to weird like many of their programs and doesn't try and push a political narrative or desperately cling to current trends.

It's worth a watch for now in season 1.
