hot take— or maybe just an unspoken take? big mouth isn't bad, it just becomes less relatable/enjoyable the older you are, unless you retain the kind of humor it adheres to throughout your adulthood.

i feel like human resources is generally better written than big mouth, but human resources tackles hard-hitting emotional topics and the occasional real-world injustice while big mouth primarily revolves around puberty and family dynamics.

human resources is geared towards adults, big mouth is geared towards children– and before someone starts the train of "big mouth is widely more inappropriate than human resources", i know it might be hard to remember as you pass that phase of your life, but i vaguely remember fifth grade being where i got my first taste of innuendos and internet links that i definitely shouldn't have been looking at.

so, yeah. totally not fair that big mouth has lasted longer than some shows that deserved a continuation, but i don't think we should blame the show itself for being kinda stupid and gross and super silly because unless you had a certain kind of childhood, i think that was the general middle school experience in america (which is exactly what the show is trying to depict).
