Steve Greene IndieWire 06/13/2023
As the modes of animation change throughout the season, they reflect a personal experience shaped by seeing people not being able to live to their potential. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 07/12/2023
3/5
An exceptional soundtrack immediately immerses viewers into the world of a group of young rebels. The This World Can't Tear Me Down crew are dry, glib, and wonderfully self-aware intellectuals. Go to Full Review Brittany Vincent Decider 07/10/2023
It feels like eating a sweet treat that’s actually good for you, but the packaging would never come clean about. And that’s much of its appeal, which will likely carry on throughout the rest of the episodes. Go to Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof 06/27/2023
4.5/5
Frankly, in a world full of platitudes, fear, pain, injustice and hopelessness, it is refreshing when someone sums up the feeling of a generation... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Fran Chico Fotogramas 06/22/2023
... Despite touching upon topics such as suicide, politics, and drugs, the series is ultimately about friendship. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community 06/11/2023
While perhaps not as deep or moving as the prior series, This World Can’t Tear Me Down is a fun trip through the meandering mind of an impressive cartoonist that takes an appreciated approach to a certainly difficult subject, Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Black B 08/17/2023 Una serie que nos demuestra que la calidad de historia, referencias y animación se puede mantener y hasta superar a la de su antecesora, es una serie fascinante en su realización no solo por el hecho que podemos ver cómo funciona nuestro personaje, sus metas, sus inseguridades, etcétera. También nos muestra una perspectiva de lo que es el tema de los migrantes de una gran manera de una manera muy adulta, nos demuestra que a veces la vida no solo es blanco y negro, cada quien tiene sus motivaciones, sus problemas, su historia, cada quien tiene un demonio adentro que los carcome por no haber hecho muchas cosas en nuestro pasado o haber hecho algo que no tenia que haber sido así. Nos demuestra lo que en verdad son las series para adultos, no solo son animaciones con alto contenido violento o con chistes o temáticas sexuales, también nos pueden tratar temas bastantes fuertes que tú teniendo una edad pequeña no comprenderás por completo, es una serie única para un público adulto que la disfrutara de sobremanera. Si tienes un tiempo libre y no sabes que hacer, está es la mejor opción, son solo 6 capítulos que te cautivarán y te mantendrán en un estado de entretenimiento bastante alto, súper recomendable. See more SuperGioMasteR 06/12/2023 Zerocalcare's new series looks like one of the best Italian products of this year. Just like "Tear Along the Dotted Line" the new "This World can't Tear me now" is hilarious, brilliant and beautifully written that tells a story that is all too real for an animated show. A must-see for a few laughs and reflection on various issues in our lives. See more Read all reviews
