 Animals (2016)
comment
An animated series that started in 2016, created by Phil Materese and Mike Luciano and known for its dark and often vulgar comedy, Animals follows the lives of various inner-city creatures and their interactions with each other and the human world. Told in loosely related vignettes, their stories usually meditate on the human experience through the eyes of an animal culture.

Series Fauxnale: The finale of season two certainly feels like a series finale, given that it ends with the entire human population of New York City dead and animals taking over the city, and Rat Mike ditching college to make an independent cartoon with Phil. Hell, the song playing over the ending credits is Ohia's "Farewell Transmission." However, the series has been renewed for a third season.
