Critics, per Wikipedia
Alley Cats topped the UK Netflix chart in its first week despite receiving largely negative reviews from critics, many of whom criticised its writing, pacing, and reliance on shock humour, though a handful of reviewers found it more sweet-natured than expected. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 20% of 20 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.4/10. Writing for Screen Rant, Dani Kessel Odem described the series as an "uninspired, unfunny slog," singling out the animation as looking "incredibly cheap" and arguing that the show's humour and narrative both fell flat across its six episodes. Empire was similarly unimpressed, writing that the series was not so…

39 of 39 · most liked firstMy regular readers know I am a globally recognised expert on Top Cat aka Boss Cat aka Don Gato, my reviews quoted on the Wikipedia pages for Top Cat the Movie and Top Cat Returns. I watched the 1st episode of Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats. I was not pleased; 2 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/08/10/a...
negative · AI labelView post →Has anyone considered that perhaps Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats is just Top Cat but shite? Makes you think.
neutral · AI labelView post →This may seem a touch harsh but I do think that selecting the "Play" button on Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats should instantly kill you
negative · AI labelView post →I watched Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats so y’all wouldn’t have to and I have one thing to say It tries really hard to be “offensive” and edgy, but feels about as comedically complex as a playground at recess full of 11 year olds who cuss a lot
negative · AI labelView post →Any one surprised that Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats is certified Rotten?

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think this penny is ready to drop yet, and I love Cunk as much as the next person, but I've also got a hunch that Diane Morgan is a bit like this seeing as she was working with Linehan after he went transphobic and was recently in that fucking Ricky Gervais Alley Cats thing

negative · AI labelView post →Ricky Gervais Alley Cats on Netflix is hilarious. 🤣 #rickygervais #alleycats
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats last night Lots of rehashed analogies about mortality from a man who did a philosophy undergrad and now considers himself a modern day Descartes, rehashed Karl Pilkington material, and lots of unnecessary profanity to appeal to the lowest common denominator Shite!
negative · AI labelView post →I watched through all of Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats yesterday, and I'm honestly very disappointed. It had some potential to be an emotional and funny series, but in the end, despite the interesting story, it drags on in favor for unfunny humor and unlikeable characters.
negative · AI labelView post →Heard that Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats show, unlike the short-lived or cancelled Netflix Animation shows I have seen, is bad
neutral · AI labelView post →Ricky Gervais Alley Cats is on Netflix today (and reviews are in - they run the gamut!): www.metacritic.com/tv/ricky-ger... "an enjoyably low-key binge." - Variety "staggeringly unfunny." - The Telegraph
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm sure Avatar Aang must have been promoted plenty around America to get it as successful as it was, but I just remembered that they did not bother to advertise it around the UK at all. I've seen more public promotion for Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats than I have this. So much money left on the table.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve seen episode 1 of Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats and I guess he achieved at making an offensive show as it was OFFENSIVELY BORING. The show only has warnings for adult language and smoking (which is nothing) meanwhile South Park has plenty of banned episodes to due themes and current events
negative · AI labelView post →On the last episode of Ricky Gervais' 'Alley Cats'. Loving it so far; I wish the episodes could each be even five minutes longer. Mr Gervais also needs to stop making me cry with his shows, Goddamnit.
positive · AI labelView post →I was radicalised by Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats
neutral · AI labelView post →Who up playing Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats (feat. playable character Bill Clinton on sex) for the SNES?
neutral · AI labelView post →I’d have played the fuck out of this in 1998. I’d have gone round another lads house at school to play it because my parents wouldn’t let me buy RICKY GERVAIS’ ALLEY CATS (FEAT. BILL CLINTON ON SAX) on the SNES

negative · AI labelView post →It’s safe to say that the videos out there that pick apart Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats for the trainwreck it is are infinitely better written and more humorous than any actual minute of the show itself.
