The Story in Brief
Deccan Herald reviews Ricky Gervais's new six-episode adult animated comedy 'Alley Cats', calling it quintessential Gervais. The review notes the series is packed with bone-dry wit, staggering profanity, glorious political incorrectness, and an unexpectedly tender streak beneath the chaos.
The Indian Opinion
The chatter around 'Alley Cats' will likely split into two lazy camps: one calling it a masterpiece of free speech, the other a vulgar mess. Neither does justice to the craft. Gervais has always used shock to smuggle in sentiment, as the review points out. The real test is whether the tenderness lands or gets drowned out by the noise. Watch episode three's quieter moments; that scene will tell you if this is satire or just slop.
