Bugbo (2022) is honestly the best show I have ever had the pleasure of watching. The jokes, the characters, the settings, the visuals, the twists, all mushed together into one and wrapped in a buggy little bow. Though its journey has only just begun, I can tell that it's going to live a long, long legacy. The characters are all so so distinct, yet so so similar to each other in a way I can't truly describe. Take Gradient Joe, for example. Though our other three main characters are bugs, with side characters like The Mayor being a human, Gradient Joe doesn't seem to fit either of these descriptions. He has human-like characteristics from his feet to his neck, yet his head is a strange black and white gradient orb of sorts, thus his name of "Gradient" Joe. Another thing to note about him is that he doesn't talk at all, only speaking through written notes. But, despite all of these, he still seems to fit in and genuinely get along with his buggy companions, teaching audiences that everyone is equal, along with the message of "Togetherness Makes Anything Effortless" at the end of each episode, and the wonderful addition of Bugbo, the shows star, being transgender. After watching Bugbo (2022), I am truly at a loss for words. Congratulations, Bensilly and his team, for you have created a show of that could rival the works such as Shakespeare.
