I don't get the praise for this? I mean, the animation and music was probably the best thing going for it, but the story and characters were pretty bland to me and nothing seemed that special about it. Many episodes felt like filler with little progress to the main story and that was kind of frustrating. I couldn't get engaged for most of it and just felt like the show was just being weird for no good reason. The humour wasn't that great and felt kiddy to me personally.
To be fair, there's nothing really bad per se about Over the Garden Wall and it's a very easy watch to binge through all 10 episodes in 2 hours, but I was left disappointed. The final two episodes were the overall best as I could actually remember significant stuff happening in them, but the rest was just a mediocre cartoon series for me and I guess this falls in the style over substance TV series category? Either way, I didn't click with it that much and maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea.
5/10
