- Hollywood Reporter - ‘Alley Cats’ Review: Ricky Gervais’ Half-Crass, Half-Sappy, Mostly Unmemorable Netflix Cartoon
• The show follows its own unhurried rhythm, turning on a dime between casually vicious and ooey-gooey sweet. But lacking the creative depth to make either tone land, it winds up a comedy of existential angst that’s rarely all that funny and only occasionally kind of moving. - The Guardian - Alley Cats review – the genital jokes in Ricky Gervais’s sweary cartoon are just exhausting.
• There are glimmers of potential in this comedy about a potty-mouthed feline gang. But not even the great voice cast or a cute kitten can save it from being lazy, crude and boring - The Independent - Alley Cats on Netflix review – Does Ricky Gervais actually think this is good?
• Swear-laden cartoon series sees the former ‘Office’ co-creator indulge all his worst instincts - The Telegraph (archive) - Ricky Gervais’s abysmal Netflix cartoon is the worst thing to happen to cats since Cats
• Off-colour jokes, inane swearing and clumsy sentiment: this zero-star show makes you wonder about the real talent behind The Office - The Wall Street Journal (archive) - ‘Alley Cats’ Review: Ferally Funny Ricky Gervais on Netflix
• A gang of foul-mouthed stray cats dillydallies around London in the comedian’s hilariously vulgar new animated show.

It is also unsurprisingly not good and just seems kind of lazy. Like they just recorded dumb dialogue with no script and added some animation.
