Where to Watch Common Side Effects
Common Side Effects Ratings & Reviews
- George K.September 5, 2025Unsurprisingly, Adult Swim drops another masterpiece. Enjoy it before David Zaslav wipes it off the face of the earth. 9/10
- Will SigmonFebruary 4, 2025I watched this randomly not knowing a lot going in… But was immediately hooked. This is a brilliant show wrapped in a cartoon moniker. Try it for yourself, and I bet you’ll find it pretty intriguing. Mike Judge does fantastic work, as always (found out he was involved after I started watching it).
- MischaMarch 3, 2025This show is a home run for me. The animation, the soundtrack, the voice acting, the story, the suspense. I'm loving it. As a huge fan of fungi and mycology and a proud tortoise owner. It's a real bonus. Huge fan of Mike Judge. Well done everyone and huge hit for adult swim, best show since Primal.
- brycowardJuly 31, 2025With its powerful visual storytelling, "Common Side Effects" masterfully blends a critique of corporate and governmental power with a deep exploration of nature's healing potential. This is a brilliant, character-driven narrative that manages to be incredibly real and emotionally resonant despite its animated format. The show's artistry is so compelling that it transcends the limitations of adult cartoons, making it a must-watch that could easily stand among the best television series ever made.
- DrinelsonApril 6, 2025I was pleasantly surprised by this show. I like adult cartoons but mostly when they are mindless and funny and you don’t have to follow along that hard but I decided to give this a try anyways. It was very good. The storyline was complex and really well thought out. It was funny and strange and kept me interested.
- nandu2u2March 3, 2025This animation is so refreshing to see! I'm enjoying the plot so far with the first episode. After watching more, this is great! Who needs Bobby Hill?
- ZenriotsJune 18, 2025Masterfully written and executed... Such a haunting parallel to psilocybin. I hope the story isn't over.
- Lucas CraparottaApril 2, 2025Was surprised with this one good story great, animation, weird art style this show had it all
- AnnaMarch 19, 2025mike judge's my neighbor totoro.
- VooKaJune 2, 2025Really liked the mature art style. It adds a fresh, adult feel. The story itself is solid and keeps you hooked. A smart, darker thriller that’s worth watching.
- Ish_auMay 19, 2025I really like this show, it feels new, and we dont get new very often. The animation style is bohemian, kooky and shows so much style and unique flavour. The music choices really lift what could be a very sterile subject. Voice delivery is varied and fits perfectly within the animation style. There are references to big pharma practices, drug culture and enviromental preservation that somehow don't bog down the show with seriousness thanks to the off-kilter humour that doesn't force its way in, nor outstays its welcome.
- Roland SiposMay 8, 2025Like sipping a kaleidoscope through a straw, it's utterly bizarre, unexpectedly moving, and exactly what you didn’t know you needed. The animation bends reality with purpose, turning pain and wonder into visual poetry. It’s a love letter to chaos, side effects, and the quiet magic of being human. Each episode feels like a lucid dream you hope never ends.
- Alex | Pop Culture BrainApril 25, 2025Quirky and interesting storytelling, but I couldn't get invested in the plot, characters, or pacing.
- ᑕ∈ᖇ∈ᔕ/ᔕTEᖇᒪIᑎGMarch 25, 2025One of the coolest shows ever conceived for Adult Swim. Each time I try to take a guess at what might happen next, this show manages to twist its story in a way I wouldn't have expected. The animation is weirdly gorgeous, the music is surprisingly good, and overall, this is one of the most refreshingly unique shows I've seen. This show feels as unique and groundbreaking as Breaking Bad or Avatar: The Last Airbender were when they came out, I'm definitely looking forward to another season of it.
- TroutSnifferFebruary 11, 2025Watched a few pilot episodes and it was intriguing. Excited to see where this episode goes.
