Adult Swim has given us so many greatshowsand one of those isHarvey Birdman: Attorney at Lawwhich ended up giving us the spinoff:Birdgirl.

Let's start with the most obvious thing. If you haven't watchedHarvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, it's unlikely you'll know what's going on inBirdgirl.However, if you're caught up with the series and know some of the lore, then it ends up being a pretty solidwatch.

Before Harvey Birdman fans come at me, let me say that I've watched and rewatched Harvey Birdman more times than I can count. WhileBirdgirlisn't even in the same realm, yet it's still a fun series and one that is highly underrated. While it might not appeal to all Harvey fans, it's worth checking out.

The one major difference betweenBirdgirlandHarvey Birdman: Attorney at Lawis the run-time of the episodes.Birdgirlepisodes are around 23 minutes whileHarvey Birdman: Attorney at Lawhas a shorter runtime which isn't the only difference but it's an important detail to note.

Birdgirlis an underrated series from Adult Swim

In watching and rewatchingBirdgirl, it's clear the show doesn't have the same charm as its predecessor. Regardless, the show has a great group of characters, including Birdgirl, aka Judy, Gillian, Meredith the Mind Taker, Charley, and Dog with Bucket Hat. While they're not as beloved as the Hanna-Barbera characters we all know, each has a fun relationship with Judy, which always leads to hijinks.

Speaking of characters, the voice acting in the series is great. Paget Brewster returns to voice Birdgirl/Judy, and she doesn't miss a beat. It's just nice to see her getting even more love, as Birdgirl never really got as much love during the original series. She's joined by Negin Farsad, Tony Hale, and Kether Donohue, among others. Honestly, the voice acting is pretty solid.

While things can be a bit absurd,Birdgirlrelies more on real-world situations, and part of that is Judy trying to keep her Birdgirl identity secret. Honestly, that's one of the highlights of the show and something I couldn't help but chuckle at. If you're craving a good office comedy with loads of absurd moments, then you'll likeBirdgirl. With only 12 episodes in the show's two seasons, this is a great weekend watch if you're stuck inside with the cold.
