Honestly it sounds like we mostly have similar tastes. I really can't stand TV with shock factor as a major element so most of what Netflix put out wasn't my cup of tea and I feel like Big Mouth really set a weird standard a lot of TV tried to emulate. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Paradise PD wasn't just a dumpster fire.

But I think your reply really hits the nail on the head of my feelings that US animation, currently, is mostly just seen as a medium for kids, comedy, and superheroes. Good shows can still emerge from those fields (Futurama is my favorite example for comedy, Over the Garden Wall for kids, and Invincible for superheroes) but I don't care for the kids shows anymore and most of the comedy isn't as smart as some of my favorite Futurama moments.
