This week,\u00a0Valerie Ettenhofer reviews the second season of Tuca &amp; Bertie, the animated <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> that was canceled by Netflix and revived on Adult Swim.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PkKb7N91Qpw\">The opening sequence<\/a> of <em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em> is a perfect encapsulation of the series itself: a vibrant sugar rush of animation, centering a continual shot of the two protagonists\u2014best friends and birds Tuca (Tiffany Haddish) and Bertie (Ali Wong)\u2013exuberantly stomping down the road, legs splayed and arms set in a stance of determination. Layers of music and voices come together to turn the two womens\u2019 names into a catchy, if fervent, hook. The entire short sequence epitomizes the series\u2019 energy, and after two years away and a considerable amount of time spent in cancellation limbo, it\u2019s an outright joy to dance along with<em> Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em> again.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Hanawalt\u2019s series most often gains comparisons to <em>Broad City<\/em> (in its character dynamics) and <em>Bojack Horseman<\/em> (in its animation style), and while both are accurate points of reference, the series has proven itself unique with just a handful of episodes to date. When the second season opens, anxious office worker and aspiring baker Bertie is looking for the right therapist. Meanwhile, impulsive Tuca is navigating sobriety and the dating world while taking care of her ailing Aunt Tallulah (Jenifer Lewis). <em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em>\u2019s first season was a bit of a Trojan Horse, frontloading with candy-colored hijinks before diving deep with a plot about Bertie\u2019s experiences with sexual assault and harassment, yet it maintained a lighthearted current throughout. The four episodes of the second season available for review continue on this trajectory, spotlighting a refreshingly dynamic female friendship while maintaining a streak of frank humor.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em> is one of the most visually creative series on TV right now. Hanawalt, who previously worked on <em>Bojack Horseman<\/em> as a production designer and producer, envisions a city that\u2019s not just populated by talking animals, but also by sentient plants. The world\u2019s animism is a source of constant surprise and delight, as when the mayor of a shadowy city turns out to be a rare and expensive flower. <em>Tuca &amp; Bertie\u2019<\/em>s second season rewrites the boundaries of its world even more than the first; in one episode Bertie brings an imagined alter ego out of her head and into reality, and in another, Tuca wanders the city at night and her surroundings are s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ped down to little more than a sketch. <em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em>\u2019s sense of imagination is often impressionistic, tied to the series\u2019 emotional core; when Bertie tells a therapist she feels like a haunted house, she briefly turns into one before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The series struck a cultural chord when it debuted in 2019, and fans were heartbroken when it was prematurely canceled by Netflix. The new iteration, on Adult Swim, bears none of the ill effects that sometimes come with a network change. These episodes feel like a natural continuation of the story we\u2019ve seen, albeit reflective of our ever-complicated times. In one plotline, the question \u201cwhat should h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en to all the bad men?\u201d is answered, in a characteristically thoughtful fashion, with a song in which men of all sorts sing about the privileges and perils of masculinity (\u201cmy dad told me boys don\u2019t cry\/so I keep my eyeholes dry\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The series is timely, but in a way, it\u2019s also long overdue. <em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em> creates excitement out of the everyday life of thirtysomething women, not through larger-than-life adventures like those of Abbi and Ilana in <em>Broad City<\/em>, but often through a distinctive, spirited take on the daily grind of adulthood. For every plot like the one where Tuca starts an impromptu dating competition <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> called Sex Bus, there\u2019s another about whether or not Bertie will be able to stay awake long enough to watch a movie with Tuca and her boyfriend, Speckles (Steven Yeun). The series\u2019 greatest achievement to date is its ability to be, at once, both emotionally grounded and wildly inventive.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em> still has plenty of ground to cover; like much of one\u2019s thirties, it\u2019s filled with situations\u2014among them, Bertie and Speckles\u2019 romance, Bertie\u2019s career, Tuca\u2019s relationships\u2014that only seem half-fulfilled. The episodes of the second season that are available for review are all immensely enjoyable, but the great series still seems far from its final form. Fueled by imagination and its creator\u2019s clear passion, <em>Tuca &amp; Bertie<\/em> is all but guaranteed to keep evolving in the most entertaining way for as long as we\u2014and the TV powers that be\u2014let it.\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
