Our Take

2016 is young, but Fugget About It is in a good lead for best international animated series of the year. The season started a bit slow, but really finished on a high point with the finale. While not as hilarious as Episode 9, Fugget About It has some excellent ideas and produces them beautifully. The premise of taking a true sci-fi element and putting it with a mob canvas, is risky, but it works here.
