It can be visually distressing and there are perhaps too many anus-related jokes (I would have settled for one). But the dialogue is funny — “Should we take Airborne? It was designed by teachers” is among my favorite lines this year — the social satire sharp and the NYC references fun, if you know them (a scene in the Café Carlyle, nods to Brooklyn’s Union Pool, a character obviously modeled on Fran Lebowitz). And the whole business proves, happily, to have a lot of heart — broken sometimes, but that’s life, even in Toontown.

Kevin works because it’s not just leaning on gags. It really tries to put its characters and stories in a position to be funny without leaning on gags, which makes the gags funny instead of fatiguing to watch.

Can be a bit all-over-the-place. (As is its prerogative — no one’s coming here for realism.) But its sense of Kevin’s journey from a shy, kept cat to one ready for whatever life hands him is clear, a North Star to guide all the otherwise enjoyable chaos.

If it only occasionally lives up to its fullest potential for humor and heart, it eventually finds enough warmth to be worth curling up with.

It's not perfect, but it is a worthwhile endeavor with plenty of laughs in store for its four core felines.

None of this is helped by the fact that, like so many streaming animated sitcoms of its ilk, it just looks bad. .... I’m not opposed to raunch or transgression; indeed, I crave it in my comedies. But watching “Kevin” struggle through one repetitive joke after another that confuses mentioning a body function with making a clever observation about it is enough to drain the soul.

But oh, the script. The awful, awful script. So blunderingly crude is it, so sluggish its attempts at emotional depth, and so mean-spirited its approach to everything else, you may, like me, find your shoulders sagging and your soul slumping like a winded beanbag.

this show is hilarious. but it's also so well written, each character has depth and a storyline and arcs and I just really hope there is a season 2!!

Absolutely horrid. Aubrey Plaza is hilarious is a comedic actress but she can't write to save her life. This is show is typical of a lot of new 'adult' cartoons, trying to replicate what shows like Bojack did. Inevitably they always fail spectacularly in the same ways, over-reliance on toilet humor, a gimmick that doesn't play out all that well (animals can talk, humans can hear them, but they're still our pets, okay...) and other myriad pitfalls that a lot of shows like this fall into. Ultimately, if you have Prime, give it a shot and see if it's for you. I didn't crack a smile once in the first episode. The humor just did not hit for me and was extremely unfunny. Anytime I felt like I might've laughed tended to get wiped away by yet more crude humor not actually adding anything comedic to the situation.
