It kinda sucks that Human Resources is just an overall better show and better use of concept than the show it span off from Big Mouth yet it only got 2 seasons to Big Mouths 8.

The visuals of Big Mouth and Human Resources are not beautiful to me. But I don't need them to be beautiful to see the value.
They utilize vulgarity and obscenities to highlight humanity in all its complexity, removing the veneer of Attractive Aesthetics and leaving exposed the true make-up of a human life.
The complicated, messy, gross, confusing, infuriating, profane, offensive, and incredibly authentic experiences in these shows have genuinely made me feel seen in ways that even the most visually stunning and morally correct media has never made me feel.
Both of these shows have shown more diversity and sincerity than anyone has given them credit for, and significantly more of it than other shows getting more credit than they frankly deserve.
But most importantly, I think it's really clear how many people have not realized that this show is doing something none of you seem to have thought about: De-radicalization.
The way this show has been presented to people has its downsides -- it will, on a purely surface level, rarely appeal to the people whose views already lean more to the left, people who have already disavowed offensive shows like Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, American Dad, or Rick And Morty -- the shows that Big Mouth and Human Resources most often get compared to.
However, people who are already inclined to watch shows like that might watch it. They might find the gross humor to be exactly to their tastes, and not know that they're going to see accurate and compassionate depictions of depression, anxiety, shame, racism, queerphobia, addiction, radicalization and rehabilitation, and so, so much more. They might find more compassion in themselves for the real life people who share these experiences because they saw someone model a better way in a show about the honest and vulgar human life.

Big mouth should add a ftm (female to male) character next season. From what I can tell, there won't be an ftm character in season 7 (which I am still excited about), so ya I think in season 8, they should add an ftm character. I think it'd be really good representation if they did but also I would be nice I guess (also yes I do still love Natalie, their mtf character) (Natalie is an amazing character but I do still think they should have ftm representation too.

I'm hoping for Caleb to babysit Sal in the final season of "Big Mouth". So he can tell him all there is to know about being on the spectrum.
