    Not a good choice of English is not your first language or you don't find binge-drinking funny

    Rapid pace and talented cast but I had trouble understanding a lot of the dialog and worried about the actor who seemed to be binge-drinking, something I don't find funny.

    Funny adult humor

    This show was funny with a mix of Shakespeare, current events, political humor, and sexual humor. I found it very entertaining and I don’t even drink.
