6 Reasons You Need To Watch Big Mouth

6. Amazing Voice Cast

Big Mouth is the joint creation of four producers, and the most well-known of the bunch is actor and comedian Nick Kroll. A veteran of television and the stage, Kroll stars in the series as Nick Birch, and he and all his adolescent friends are voiced by adult actors. However, unlike South Park, there is no attempt to modulate the voices to make them sound more childlike. Instead, Kroll and the ensemble cast are allowed to breathe their natural cadence and delivery into their performances, giving the show a vibe that may seem dissonant at first, but gradually, you come to accept as it allows for more variety in what the characters can discuss.

Among Kroll's co-stars are veteran actors Jenny Slate, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas (who many will recognize from Kroll's long-running FX sitcom The League), and John Mulaney (who co-starred with Kroll on the very successful two-man Broadway show Oh, Hello). All of these actors fit their characters perfectly.

And of course, it's not just the kids who have great performers. From Fred Armisen to Kat Dennings to Jordan Peele as the Ghost of Duke Ellington (seriously), the show has a wide array of voice talent to go around. Perhaps the greatest get for Big Mouth is Maya Rudolph as the Hormone Monstress, a supernatural creature who communicates with the female characters on the show. Rudolph completely disappears into the role and steals every scene she's in.
