  • Ricky Gervais voices Gus, a misanthropic cat, in the six-episode Netflix animated series “Stray Cats.”
  • The 15-minute episodes follow a gang of homeless cats and view humanity through their perspective.
  • The series shows promise, but its repetitive sexual and scatological humor limits its effectiveness.

Ricky Gervais, the British actor and screenwriter behind “After Life,” turns to animation with “Stray Cats,” a Netflix series about a gang of homeless cats.

The six episodes, each 15 minutes long, follow the cats’ daily lives under the leadership of Gus, a misanthropic feline voiced by Gervais.

The series has potential when it observes humanity through the cats’ eyes. But its sexual and scatological humor becomes repetitive and does not always land.
