They really speak to your grown-up inner child
Who here misses racing home from school to watch SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, Kim Possible, and Totally Spies?

Call it nostalgia, but sometimes there’s nothing like cartoons to put a smile on our faces. Why keep looking back, though? You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy watching cartoons – in fact, these shows we’ve picked were created specifically for adults like us. No, we’re not going for the R-rated and crude thrills here. Using satire, dark humour, and yes, a couple of F-bombs thrown around, these animated shows take on complex topics such as politics, technology, depression, and death. Not so different from our sci-fi and crime dramas, but with cute or quirky animation art.

4. Final Space
We learn so much from watching this sci-fi comedy produced by Conan O’Brien – like how “Mooncake” isn’t just a delicious sweet treat you eat during Mid-Autumn Festival, but an adorable green alien that can straight-up destroy a whole planet. Mooncake’s abilities are so powerful, he’s being hunted down by Lord Commander (voiced by David Tennant), who has some scary powers himself. Luckily, Mooncake has a new friend, Gary the astronaut, to protect him as they journey across the universe and figure out the destructive mystery of ‘final space’.
Watch it on Netflix.
