Personally I hate grind house. However as some of these reviews illustrate, this is the type of show that is ridiculously needed right now. Something lewd, offensive, stupid, and just plain dumb fun. I gave it a shot expecting it to be dumb and groan worthy, and wanting to see just how awful and lame it was. What I got was a feast for the senses and synapses.
This world is entirely too uptight. This is exactly what needs to be on air right now. Something that pushes boundaries and riles up the sheep.
Sure it is not what it is proudly ripping off, and that is a good thing. Content like this does not hold up well because by its nature its satirical of the modern age and the nearly half century old 40+ yr old inspiration is functionally unwatchable today because it is like watching a preschool version of itself. This is a modernization of it and is not intended for mass market appeal like the doomed to failure Anderson film.
Its not perfect by any measure, but in this ludicrous terrified and twitching PC snowflake world we live in, This is exactly the flamethrower we need. Particularly enjoy the soundtrack thus far and I sincerely hope that they keep it at this level or better.
Its all about the grandeur and spectacle. This is the Romans at the Colosseum feeding Christians to the lions. You have choices. Either cheer along, or be the next to be chucked in. You are not entitled to an apology if you are not entertained from those of us who are.
