This droll new animated satire deserves to find its place among the network’s “Animation Domination” hits. Until then, it’s raining cats and dogs and assorted other quirky anthropomorphic animals on Mondays, alongside Duncanville (9:30/8:30c). Friends alum Lisa Kudrow leads an exceptional voice cast as the pert poodle Honey, who leads regular group-therapy sessions for a neurotic neighborhood flock in her owner’s living room. Mourning the loss of a mentor, Honey seeks a replacement (“Who could benefit from some therapy but also not scoot on Jill’s rug?”), but it won’t be easy to appease the likes of Elsa (Clea DuVall), an easily triggered Corgi; Tabitha (Catastrophe’s Sharon Morgan), a haughty Persian cat; Shel (Will Forte), a randy tortoise; or Max (Veep’s Tony Hale), a name-dropping pot-bellied pig with a celebrity owner. Honey lives with the vulgar St. Bernard, Chief (the hilarious Nat Faxon), a lumbering Id of a beast, but she is strangely drawn to the studly Coyote (Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry) who’s haunting the environs.
