Big Mouth`s first season covered everything about puberty, from the onset of weird urges to the mind-blowing fact that `girls are horny too` (literally, several characters` heads exploded when they found out). Big Mouth Season 2 has arrived on Netflix, and it`s just as bonkers as Season 1, with musical numbers about the beauty of all--all--female bodies, a new character called the Shame Wizard, and more awkward insanity.

It revels equally in educating us about reproductive health and the importance of Planned Parenthood (there`s literally a whole episode about it), and grossing us out with Coach Steve`s endless terrible descriptions of sex (I`ll rest easier if I never hear the phase `make the thick in the warm` again ...
