The Amazing World of Gumball follows Gumball Watterson, a blue cat, and his adoptive fish brother, Darwin, as they get into various hijinks in their surreal hometown of Elmore, California. The show centers on the Watterson family—Gumball, Darwin, their super-genius younger sister Anais, their stay-at-home dad Richard, and their working mom Nicole—who navigate everyday school and family life. What starts as a typical school sitcom evolves into a meta-narrative, with characters becoming aware of their existence as cartoon characters and facing existential threats, including their own creator and the reality-bending antagonist Rob.
