The genius of “Big Mouth” doesn’t necessarily lie in the cast and crew of the show. They’re great, there’s no denying that. However, it’s the premise that really is what separates the series from the plethora of other adult-skewed animated shows on TV. “Big Mouth” takes a look at adolescence and puberty but instead of just doing the typical sex jokes, the show actually personifies the feelings that kids feel during those rough times, creating these “monsters” that drive their libidos and fears. And Season 4 introduces a new character, Anxiety.
