Marco Valentini

December 16, 2014

The first three seasons are unbelievably a masterpiece, the fourth one is not as great as those but tries to reach that goal. Recurring gags all over the place which makes everything more watchable and funny.

Rob Saggers

July 24, 2017

The first 2 seasons of this show are a masterpiece. 3 and 4 still surpass most other TV comedies.

Shane Kiely (Shane)

September 29, 2015

One of the best shows ever, despite being weirdly anti firearms.
