The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball
This report covers the series as a whole across both seasons aired to date. A zany, mixed-media revival of The Amazing World of Gumball, this show follows Gumball and Darwin's misadventures through surreal, satirical humor that runs noticeably sharper and more mature than its predecessor, with some episodes touching on surprisingly grown-up territory.
Best suited for kids around 10 and up who already love the original Gumball series, with older tweens and teens getting the most out of the social satire.
Episodes to know about
The entire episode's plot revolves around Gumball, Darwin, and other kids getting high from a cologne that behaves like a drug, with visually trippy, hallucinogenic animation sequences throughout.
Characters transform into screeching, monstrous demons and a secondary character rips off his own face to reveal a new monster head underneath, in a body-horror style animated sequence.
Reviewers note this episode is more violent than the show's typical baseline and may be too intense for younger viewers.
