**This review may contain spoilers** After reading the few reviews posted, I had to weigh in and say that I think this show is exceptionally brilliant. Sure, it is full of c*ck jokes and other low-brow humor, but when you consider the range of styles incorporated in the filming, the range of characters (almost all played by John Paul Tremblay, Mike Smith and Robb Wells), the plot twists, and the many cinematic devices used throughout, you have to give credit to JP, Robb and Mike for creating something so outrageous, so dynamic, so non-linear and so hilarious. I can understand too if you don't like their humor, but I think they absolutely succeed in depicting a totally crazed drug-fueled adventure. It reminds me very much of (and I don't say this lightly) The Beastie Boys singular album "Paul's Boutique" in the way is totally shatters every conception or idea you might have about how a comedy show can be made, filmed, and edited. It's a bit of Monty Python meets Ren and Stimpy with a little Church of the Sub-genius thrown in for good measure. It's up there with any other great surrealist work of art. I completely admit that if this isn't your "thing", you will probably not like it, but there is nothing stupid or poorly thought out about anything in this series. If you are fan of the Trailer Park Boys, you will be familiar with the general kind of humor you will likely encounter, but let the unique qualities of this series speak for themselves and most of all, enjoy the ride!!
score 10/10
