Overview
A group of local animal control workers' lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. Leading the crew is Frank, an opinionated, eccentric animal control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. In his past life as a cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, leaving him cynical and curmudgeonly. Despite his rough exterior, he is blessed with an almost superhuman ability to understand animals.

Center
Primary
The series is a workplace comedy centered on character-driven humor and situational comedy involving animals, and it explicitly does not foreground a distinct political ideology or engage directly with political issues.
The series features a visibly diverse cast with varied ethnic and national backgrounds, and includes women in significant leadership roles. The narrative is primarily a comedic exploration of workplace dynamics and human foibles, without foregrounding explicit DEI themes or critically portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
Animal Control features Victoria Sands, a confident lesbian character integrated into the workplace. While her relationships are part of the narrative, the show does not deeply explore queer identity. Its humor sometimes relies on conventional, occasionally vulgar jokes and stereotypes, leading to a portrayal that is present but neither strongly affirming nor overtly negative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Animal Control is an original series, not based on pre-existing source material or historical figures. All characters are portrayed with the genders established during their creation for the show, meaning no character's on-screen gender differs from their canonical or original design.
The show "Animal Control" features original characters created for this new series. There is no prior source material or established canon for these characters, thus precluding any instance of a race swap.
