I must admit that it never occurred to me just how empty my life has been without a heavy metal horror comedy, but I came to that realization less than twelve hours ago when I started watching Todd and the Book of Pure Evil.
I like being able to binge watch a show, especially a show with short episodes like this one. Each episode is about 23 minutes, so I was able to take in the entirety of season one (13 episodes) in a single night. And boy, did I have fun.
Todd, our main character, is a high school student, a loser, and a stoner. Curtis is his best friend, and together with two attractive girls they embark on adventures against all manner of evil. The show's formula is very simple: every week someone new activates the book of pure evil and our heroes deal with it. There is much gore and humor.
It's an absolute riot. It is decidedly not high-brow entertainment. It is not deep. It is not for the younger set. Do not seek meaning here. If, however, you're looking for good way to kill some time and you have a fondness for guitars, this is terrific fun.
