It seems as adult animated comedy series are more popular now than ever before thanks to streaming services giving creators the freedom to do something unique. Look at “Tuca and Bertie,” “Solar Opposites,” “Disenchantment,” and others as examples. And Amazon seems to be doing that with the upcoming “Fairfax.”
