For the most part, Netflix has won over critics with its innovative approaches to adult animation.
Since the premiere of “BoJack Horseman” in 2014 – which CEO Reed Hastings has previously called his favorite Netflix show – the streaming service has released five other original animated shows that deal in mature themes.
Its latest, “Disenchanted,” an animated fantasy series from “The Simpsons” and “Futurama” creator Matt Groening, has received positive reviews ahead of its premiere on August 17.
