Who'll love it

The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

12 oz. Mouse revolves around Mouse Fitzgerald, nicknamed "Fitz", an alcoholic mouse who performs odd jobs so he can buy more beer. Together with his chinchilla companion Skillet, Fitz begins to recover suppressed memories that he once had a wife and a child who have now vanished. This leads him to seek answers about his past and the shadowy forces that seem to be manipulating his world.
