Don't see it if if you want to sit back and relax. you will get no enjoyment from this show. It's 4 actors playing way too many parts

Also The show is really really bad. I really can't think of anyone who would like it. I typically don't like shows where a few actors play many different parts but there are some that I do like. This was very bad.... Read more Read less
