Big Mouth is an animated comedy that conveys the trials and errors of puberty. Topics such as romance, sexuality, friendship, and the life story of jazz pianist Duke Ellington, are not left untouched. Created by Nick Kroll, and having a cast of celebrities such as Kroll himself and comedy legend, John Mulaney, this show has not disappointed for its past 3 seasons. That includes the one that came out this past Friday. 

The season starts off with a take on sexism in school. There is a dress code rule in place for the middle schoolers saying that only the girls need to cover up, since they are “distracting the boys”. This causes a riot amongst the 7th graders and they orchestrate a ‘slut walk’ a la Amber Rose. One classmate named Missy, a more immature girl, takes on the struggle of not wanting to partake in the protest, since she does not want to dress provocatively. This causes a backlash from her peers, but towards the end of the episode all is good as they rejoice in song, celebrating women’s freedom. 

Big Mouth also covers the topic of teenage sexuality, as the plotline of an openly gay character, Matthew, unfolds with his budding romance with another out teen. This ends up in them dating as the season progresses. There is also an exploration of Jay, a mistreated magician who goes on the journey of discovering that he is bisexual, through his past relations with male and female pillows that he ‘partakes’ with and a Canadian TV show. 

The two main characters- Nick and Andrew travel to Florida to celebrate Sadar, since Andrew is Jewish. Andrew is not the only Jewish character as Jessi, a former love interest to Nick is as well. While in Florida, Andrew ends up kissing his cousin, Cherry, which causes a riff between his dad and his uncle. That concludes with a sinkhole devouring his extended family, only to be defined as a ‘metaphor’ for Florida itself. 

There is also a running gag this season, with former Coach Steve, who got fired in season 2. He has a new job each episode, and it relates to the plot of each one. There is a breaking of the fourth wall, with call-outs to HBO and Game of Thrones, making fun of both. There are many musical numbers as well, with ones about sexism, the state of Florida, and of self-pleasure done in the show. 

The season sadly ends on a rough note, as the finale ends with a cliffhanger; which may or may not spice things up in a friendship among three characters.
