Ep 1. Episode 1

In the first episode of Big Mouth season 2, we find our favorite middle schoolers navigating the struggles of growing up even further. The episode starts with a musical number where the characters are singing about what it means to be a kid and how excited they are to grow up. This sets the tone for the episode as we see the characters deal with new changes and challenges that come with growing older.

One of the central arcs of the episode is the introduction of Gina, a new student at the school. She's confident, self-assured, and immediately catches the attention of the boys in the school (and even some of the girls). However, she also has a secret that she's struggling to keep hidden. This storyline explores themes of self-acceptance and the pressure that can come with hiding parts of oneself for fear of judgement.

Meanwhile, Nick and Andrew are going through a bit of a rough patch in their friendship. Nick has developed a crush on Andrew's female hormone monstress, Missy. This puts a strain on their friendship as they struggle to navigate their feelings and the changes happening within themselves.

Missy, however, is going through some big changes of her own. She's started getting her period and is dealing with the physical and emotional ups and downs that come with it. This storyline explores themes of puberty and the changes that come with growing up in a relatable and humorous way.

Amidst all of this, we also see the return of the beloved characters from the first season, including Jessi, Jay, and Coach Steve. They each have their own storylines that weave seamlessly throughout the episode.

Overall, Big Mouth season 2 episode 1 delivers the same heart, humor, and wit that fans fell in love with in the first season. The show tackles important coming-of-age themes in a unique and entertaining way, while also being unapologetically honest and authentic. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good laugh and can relate to the messiness of adolescence.
