Original and funny!!!
The writing and acting are terrific in this incredibly original 6 episode series.

It's a wild ride, to be sure, but one that I often found uproariously funny. Purposefully cheesy, the show revels in low-budget debauchery, senseless violence, and salty wordplay. Where it succeeds so successfully, though, is that...
