User Reviews

Crazy, very different and non commercial

I watched this show in Russia. It was so funny, cleaver and different as compared to other western shows. It was obviously made on a low budget but this didn't spoil the fun. The guys and girls in the show never took themselves serious and always had a laugh so you ended up having a laugh with them.

I saw one of the episodes on Hulu in English and for some reason the narration track was missing. Not sure if this was a mistake but it was really awful.

The Russian version is a 9 out of 10. The English version on Hulu only a 2 out of 10.
