Vulgar and Funny

I saw all the episodes of this on the web. Personally I've always found the porn industry oddly interesting even beyond the obvious reasons. Each episode is pretty short and its about the day to day lives of people who work at an adult video magazine. Even though it was shot on DV I thought it was really funny. You don't often see a decent series based on such a subject that includes explicit nudity and good writing. Many of the topics were very adult but the filmmakers did a good job with the writing and the the interaction between the characters. Overall I was quite surprised at how good this series was considering its low budget background. It would make a wonderful series on HBO or Showtime. Hope to see in on DVD someday.
