The weird and wonderful tend to go hand-in-hand. The world, over the years, has taught us that. But if you need another example of that truth, look no further than Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel’s animated delight “Smiling Friends.” This Adult Swim favorite was initially enticing when it premiered in 2022 because of its off-kilter rules, personalities and antics — thankfully, none of that has changed as the series embarks on its highly-anticipated second season.

The pitch perfect set of bite-sized 10-minute episodes naturally expands on the bizarre world the first season established and doubles down on its bold, brash and smart dark humor.
