[WARNING: VIDEOS BELOW MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE AND/OR SENSITIVE CONTENT]
“Big Mouth”
'Big Mouth' first premiered in 2017. (Netflix)
“Big Mouth” traces the paths of three young pre-teenagers in their adolescence as they navigate the perils of puberty, love, and everything in-between.
Though graphic in the subject matter, the series does a great job of meshing together the ebbs and flows of growing pains and will likely keep the viewer reminiscing about their own personal experiences.
Cast: Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jordan Peele, Jessi Klein
'TIGER KING' STARS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
“BoJack Horseman”
See Will Arnett voice a talking horse moonlighting as a washed-up actor as he desperately tries to pick up whatever pieces of a career he has left while stifling the derailment of his once-posh life.
“BoJack” tackles a myriad of human and societal issues such as substance abuse, sexism, depression, and racism all in a digestible way that softens the darkness of its riotous character arc.
Cast: Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Tompkins, Aaron Paul

The animated series, with multiple seasons under its belt, also delivers the comedic timing and hilarious storylines Burr fans come to expect.
