Collider highlights Hugh Jackman’s unexpected voice role as Dante, an Addiction Angel, in Netflix’s animated comedy Human Resources. The casting matters because it sharply contrasts with Jackman’s usual heroic or charming screen persona, turning him into a smug character who encourages people’s worst compulsions.

Human Resources is a two-season spin-off from Big Mouth that shifts attention from adolescence to the creatures managing human emotions and behaviour in a workplace setting. Its stories cover addiction, grief, parenthood, dementia, relationships and mental health, combining deliberately raunchy comedy with a more mature interest in self-destructive choices and uneven recovery.
