Pretty good, not sure yet…
To be honest, this Canadian wasn’t exactly trippin’ on this episode (why did Space premiere with this one anyway?) I’ll give the show a chance… It’s crude, but that’s not a problem for me, and it’s low-brow which is fine – it’s those mono-brow shows that really p*ss me off. While it didn’t blow by any stretch, it didn’t blow my mind as I had hoped.
I guess maybe it was that beauty pageants are just too easy a target (and a bit cliché, been parodied so many times before). I wanted something totally original for the first episode that showed here on Space. When it tackles religion, as I’ve heard it will, I’ll probably find it much more interesting AND funny (the funniest stuff is often the most insightful), or when it takes on politics and various taboo subjects… The more edgy and provocative the better.
I like the crew, but I wonder why the huge popularity of Six of One in the downloads section? The ones of an explicit Sixual nature are the most popular, right? Get real! It’s only virtual Six! Oh well, aint nothing wrong with a little cyberSix in cyberspace, I guess. Personally, aint nothing gonna ignite my rocket faster than a sexy propulsion system… Warp drives drive me wild, but you probably didn’t want to know that. Anyway, I quite like the misfit characters, crude though they can be… And Six isn’t your average cyberbimbo.
The jokes fell a little flat for me. I thought they were a little too obvious, lacked subtlety, but if you want restraint then you’re probably better off hanging with the S&M bondage crowd… Oh hang on, you’re here so you already are! Oh how them S&Mers love a good hanging.
Really, it almost always takes me a while to get into a new show – I’m very critical to start off with… It’s Six of One, half a dozen of the other… I think I might become a fan, but I need more time… Promising, and as it is an adult show, the more adult (older) the humour the better — “my Depends need changing” is such a classic.
