Let me start off by saying that this review is going to get a full score of 5/5 grasses and glasses. What a gem..
I never watched this show during the hype, but found it on Netflix and decided to give it a go. Not only it is funny, but it's also the most intelligent portrayal of stupidity I have seen in a long time.
The premise of the show is 3 long-time buddies who live in a Nova Scotia trailer park, and they're constantly scheming to make money in not-so-legal ways. Every time you think a plan of theirs will work, it always 'fucks ups' at some point and one or all of them end up in jail. Bubbles, Julia and Ricky are the main characters- bubbles level headed with big glasses, Julian the 'brains' of the operation, and Ricky the one who gets them out of jams.. and also fucks everything up when he can.
I think Ricky is everyone's favority character, although they all have their charms. There are other characters that add value to the show as well- cops and neighbours in the trailer park. All have interesting quirks and each shows a certain level of blind stupidity that can almost be seen as intelligence in one way or another.
Here's a clip of Ricky...
This show is funny, intelligent, and the writing and acting is so tight that you never get taken out of the story.
YA!
