As per What’s On Netflix, fans condemned the stereotypical portrayal of characters even after the series’ release. The critics weren’t kind after the trailer’s release. However, the criticisms weren’t as heavy after fans got to see the series in its entirety.
Currently, the animated series sits at a 29% Rotten Tomatoes rating, with the consensus being mostly negative. As per a critic, the series’ spirit is in the right place. However, the general absence of humor and dated stereotypes make the series fall flat.

Unlike other popular animated projects, this Queer animated series failed to receive a massive upfront order for another season. However, it is now confirmed that the series will not come back, at least not on Netflix.
