Amazon's 'Kevin' Fails to Impress with Excessive Vulgarity
A new animated series called 'Kevin' has premiered on Amazon Prime, but one financial and crypto news writer wasn't impressed. The show takes place in Astoria, Queens, a neighborhood that's seen many productions filmed there before.
The show is based on a cat named Kevin, voiced by actress Aubrey Plaza, who created the series. The story follows Kevin as he runs away from home after his owners break up and takes refuge in an animal rescue facility.
However, the writer lost interest early on due to what they felt was excessive vulgarity. They noted that a recurring theme in the show is the cat's 'butthole' and how it's discussed multiple times.
The writer believes the show would be fine without this explicit content and compared it to other classic cartoon cats like Felix, Fritz, Krazy Kat, and more. The series starts streaming on Amazon Prime on April 20, 2026.
