Is it worth starting?
This is 11 seasons deep — English animation with a comedy streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- Currently 8.4/10 from 3,903 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
