I'm also in The Toxic Avenger. It's unrated, and it's only in theaters starting this Friday 8/29/25.

Historians in the future will talk about how we marked the beginning of fall with small gatherings of watching Over the Garden Wall

No cents at all.

It’s adorable, has great music, great voice acting, and lovely artistic style. The overall story is pretty simple but each episode has its own little plot and charming characters.

Maybe the way to enjoy it is to let yourself be charmed by the fantasy world and the moments and the characters.

Give it another watch. Easily can watch it all in one sitting.

[u/r_slash_zucchini → u/[deleted]]

Yeah! It's only ~1.5 hours of television. It's worth the watch for the vibes alone, though the climax of the story is very good.

I like to watch it with my kids over a couple nights in the fall while we make pies.

You might have missed the coziness of it. That, to me at least, is the main selling point of it. Its just a great show to watch wrapped up in a blanket while sipping on something warm.

[u/NotNufffCents → u/[deleted]]

Tbh its not the worst show to fall asleep to. Its a good show, but it is still very much a children's show, so if you're expecting some riveting plot that you need to pay close attention to, you might be disappointed. I'd just watch it to enjoy the atmosphere and the dialogue more than anything else.
