A CGI cartoon from Canada for ADULTS????

Read a little on NETFLIX and WIKI, but would love to hear anything you all may have to say.

I gather its pretty racey and sarcastic.

It aired on Scifi channel several years ago. I watched part of the first season and thought it was very mediocre. I heard they replaced some voices for the 2nd season, never saw that one.

I'd maybe rent this, but it really wasn't my cup o' tea. I was looking for a good, well written scifi animation. TtR had its moments, but those were far and few between.

It was based off a short film of the same name.

It's somewhat amusing but mostly so-so.

Go watch the short film - should be pretty easy to find a link to on google. If you like the short film and think you can suffer through the same novelty for several 22 minute episodes, then the show is probably for you.

I was really excited when I heard they were making it into a show (as I had seen the short film some years before), but soon found out the premise didn't work very well for an entire TV show.

Overall it's not terrible, but there are better shows out there.

Yeah, but Six was hot...

Just checked Wikipedia... didn't realize there have been 39 episodes! I don't think I've caught any of season 3. It was usually the sort of thing that I'd be channel surfing at 2am and stumble across it.

Yeah, the voice of Chode used to be the guy who does Buck Strickland and who was Milton in office space (cant remember name, too lazy to look up). He did the voice in the short movie (internet only).

The short is the highlight, the series is very mediocre.

Thanks to all. I'll rent a disc to see. I was hoping for really cutting sarcasm, but I guess no-go.

Thanks again folks.
