5 shows like 'Big Mouth' on Netflix to stream now that the animated show is over

Netflix recently released the final season of the hit animated show 'Big Mouth," serving up one last crudely hilarious deluge of puberty jokes and high school drama. Nick, Andrew, Jessi, Missy, Jay, and Matthew are all growing up — both inside and out — and the series continues to embrace the messy, awkward and deeply weird process of adolescence. And now that the last episode has dropped, 'Big Mouth' fans might find themselves itching to fill the hormone-fueled void with another favorite adult animated binge. Here are five shows like "Big Mouth," all of which you can stream on Netflix. The creators of 'Big Mouth' (comedian Nick Kroll and showrunner Andrew Goldberg) saw how successful their first series had become and launched a spin-off in 2022 featuring a new cast of emotional 'monsters.' This time, the setting is an HR department, which brings some refreshing office humour to what could've been a staid backdrop. SNL alum Aidy Bryant personifies Emmy the Lovebug, the key character driving the story of 'Human Resources." She struggles to identify with her first client, Becca, a pregnant lawyer with various shades of depression. Randall Park voices Pete the Logic Rock, who is as stoic as his name and often acts awkward in any interaction, but he begins to open up as the seasons progress. And comedian Maria Bamford brings her unique voice to Tito the Anxiety Mosquito, who often chills with Depression Kitties, as you would expect. Segueing from 'Big Mouth' to 'Human Resources' is as easy as diving into 'Better Call Saul' after 'Breaking Bad,' and the tight writing and complex themes around self-actualization will be familiar ground for B'ig Mouth' veterans — especially those who would love a cameo or two from Maury the Hormone Monster.

The five-season show, which ended in 2021, is the brainchild of stand-up star Bill Burr, and it's one of the more realistic animated shows on the list. Set in the 1970s and inspired by Burr's own family experiences, the show gives viewers a raw portrayal of a dysfunctional family navigating generational clashes and financial quagmires. With the father being a perpetually angry guy, Bill Burr afficionados will see many themes cropping up from the comedian's popular stand-up bits. But 'F is for Family' allows Burr to explore deeper probes into the, say, father-son dynamic that he rarely discusses on stage. You'll also notice an A-list cast of actors lending their voices to the series, from Laura Dern to Sam Rockwell to Justin Long. Watch on Netflix The biggest criticism this show gets is that Coach Ben (voiced by Jack Johnson, also the creator) is an unlikable character, but to each their own, right? If you can get past this issue, you'll likely enjoy this fun show about a high school basketball coach overwhelmed by his own ego. Believing he's destined for coaching greatness, Ben is obsessed with recruiting a seven-foot student with no interest in basketball, which is the main arc of the show, except for bits about his thorny relationship with his wife and battling Principal Opal. 'Hoops' only lasted one season (did the vulgarity turn off Netflix in the end?), but it's still an engaging watch whether or not you've come across a disillusioned coach like Ben. Watch on Netflix Lasting five seasons before Netflix axed it, 'Disenchantment' has the same animation style as 'Futurama' and 'The Simpsons' thanks to creator Matt Groening, who brought us Homer, Marge and Bart eons ago. Set in a fictional Medieval country, the series stars Princess Tiabeanie (Abbi Jacobson) revolting against her parents' plans to marry Prince Merkime (Matt Berry), but she only has eyes for Elfo (Nat Faxon), a naïve and lovesick elf. It doesn't always hit the same comedic notes as Groening's other popular shows, but it's fair to call 'Disenchantment' charming and digestible. It's also a great watch for family viewing if your children are pre-teens or older, as this series doesn't boast the same crude jokes as 'Human Resources' and 'Hoops.' Another strong anchor of the show is Luci (Eric Andre) who is a demon acting as the princess's lovable but scheming companion. He also often has the best lines: 'Being evil is a lot of work. You gotta tempt, you gotta corrupt, you gotta convince people to do bad stuff. It's exhausting.' Watch on Netflix Without a doubt, 'BoJack Horseman' is one of the more popular animated shows on Netflix for being a mature and smart look at mental health, intergenerational trauma and addiction. All this from a cast of characters with names like Mr. Peanutbutter and Pinky Penguin. As the titular character falls into a depression after realizing his career as a professor is a far cry from his early days as an actor on the show "Horsin' Around," we see a range of storylines about BoJack finding validation in one-night stands, recovering from his traumatic upbringing, and reconnecting with someone from his past he never thought was alive (don't worry, we won't spoil it here). Starring Will Arnett, Paul F. Tompkins, Amy Sedaris and Aaron Paul, the show is punchy and confident, and the writing is tight and at turns beautiful. It truly should've won more Emmy Awards. Rest assured, you won't look at how we view fame and self-worth the same when 'BoJack' is done with you. Watch on Netflix

Netflix just added a load of Alfred Hitchcock movies — here's the 3 to watch first

Netflix has launched a new Alfred Hitchcock collection to celebrate one of the most celebrated and influential directors of all time, and it's a very good thing classic movie fans. While the selection of Hitchcock movies added to Netflix U.S. this month is far from complete — some of the filmmaker's very best works are missing — it's a strong set of titles that range from the often-overlooked 'Frenzy' to some of his most legendary efforts like 1958's 'Vertigo.' Whether you're a Hitchcock scholar or a relative newcomer, you need to get these movies in your Netflix watchlist. Any self-respecting movie fan can't afford to skip them. With more than half a dozen Hitchcock movies added at once, I'm picking out a trio of cinematic masterpieces to get you started. These three represent Hitchcock at his very best and remain timeless classics to this day. Cinephiles could debate the best Hitchcock movie for years and still not come to a definitive answer — his filmography is simply that strong — but if you took a poll, I reckon 'Vertigo' might land at the top. While not my personal favorite, it's ranked by many as his magnum opus. Starring James Stewart as a former San Francisco cop suffering from an intense fear of heights, he's hired to investigate the wife of an acquaintance who has been acting strangely. What follows is a twisting tale full of Hitchcock's trademark suspense and a boatload of intrigue. The movie is groundbreaking cinematically, and while some of its inventive shots might seem less impressive when viewed through a modern lens where creative camerawork is commonplace, upon release in 1958, audiences had never seen a movie quite like 'Vertigo.' Perhaps what makes this psychological thriller so special is that it offers so much more than just an uber-engaging mystery. Its exploration of grief is remarkably resonant, and James Stewart has never been better in the lead role. It's a quintessential cinematic classic. Watch "Vertigo" on Netflix now The second collaboration between James Stewart and Hitchcock (following 1948's often underrated 'Rope'), 'Rear Window' ranks as one of the director's most legendary movies, and set a blueprint for the mystery-thriller genre that is still being followed to this day. Stewart plays Jeff, a photojournalist confined to his humid apartment after breaking his leg during an assignment. With little to do other than watch the world go by from his front window, he soon becomes convinced his neighbor has committed an unspeakable act of murder. 'Rear Window' is remarkable for many reasons. Stewart is dependably excellent and is paired with the alluring Grace Kelly for extra impact. Plus, the flick is a masterclass in slowly ratcheting tension, and I also adore how it plays with perspective in some clever ways. After all, we only see what's happening from Jeff's limited vantage point. 'Rear Window' is one of the purest Hitchcock movies out there. The premise is simple in nature, and the setting is intentionally claustrophobic, but it holds your attention with ease and slowly builds to a thrilling finale, and one of my favorite endings in all of cinema. Watch "Rear Window" on Netflix now I have something of an irrational dislike of birds, and I blame Hitchcock for that. 1963's 'The Birds' is a creature feature that turns a swarm of birds into a terrifying hell horde. After watching, you might find yourself crossing to the other side of the road next time you see a group of pigeons on the sidewalk. Set in Bodega Bay, it sees the residents of the town terrorized by a flight of violent and aggressive birds, who want nothing more than to peck out the eyes of anybody they encounter. It's pretty skin-crawling, especially because the fear factor feels plausible. Starring Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy and Tippi Hedren, to complement the horror aspect, there's also a romance between two love birds (get it?), which adds an extra dimension to the movie, even if the main appeal is seeing these aggressive animals cause pure chaos. If there's one weakness, it's that 'The Birds' takes a little while to get airborne, with a protracted first act, but the solid character work ensures the movie never bores. You're well rewarded for sticking with it as it eventually transforms into a panic-inducing horror movie. Watch "The Birds" on Netflix now
