Looks like Sesame Street and plays like David Lynch. Go to Full Review Toussaint Egan Polygon 09/30/2022
Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared could be described as the demented British half-cousin of Sesame Street.. albeit less politically charged than the latter and more focused on taking a sledgehammer to the standard of children's educational television.

7/10
This revival of the cult web series retains all the same sense of style and macabre sense of humour as the originals, and is a must-watch for fans of dark and surreal comedy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Whitney R @RT36025682 Jun 2 This is such a great show! It's a TV show seconding a YouTube series of the same name. The show follows three main characters, a yellow naive child named Yellow Guy, a duck in a suit name Duck Guy, and a self-aware red octopus looking thing named Red Guy. It is an AMAZING show, buhbye!:3 See more Conus P @RT50990685 Jun 2 Red guy is so 😚🥰🥰🥰🥵🍆🍑💦 See more Jake A @RT66618294 May 11 As a fan of the webseries, I think this is a perfect Don't Hug Me I'm Scared TV show. None of the episodes are the same, they're all unique. And the character interactions have me beaming in delight. Not to mention that there's a creative dark twist in every episode. The only thing that I think could have been done better is the finale of the series. It's a bit anticlimactic, but it's not an awful ending. Definitely worth a watch, i think all the episodes are up on the website if you aren't in the UK. SO WATCH IT NOW!!! See more Brutally Honest R @RT30509483 12/30/2024 This is the only show I have watched that makes me want to buy merch, stream on repeat, and give 5 stars everywhere just to show my appreciation of it to the creators. Thanks Becky and Joe. I love the humor, the plot (if we can call it a plot?), the aesthetics, the style. See more Josh A @RT94970263 10/27/2024 As someone who was a massive fan of the original webseries and still is (my favourite from the webseries is DHMIS 5 btw), this was an absolute blast to watch. It's a perfect blend between horror and comedy and fits the webseries' tone very well, albeit with a bit more production value. While I still prefer the webseries, this is a great TV show and I hope Season 2 happens, although even if it doesn't I don't mind. 0verall, this is an amazing TV show and I heavily recommend it.
