I'd die to get laid...
18 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Most people in these days knows that one girl who (inspired from an array of television series regarding woman liberation) sleeps around with random guys and never think of them again. Roo is one of them. a 29 year old single girl who has a nice job in marketing. Her life turns upside down as she finds out that an old boyfriend have died. Remenissing with her friend EJ, she doesn't remember much about him, other than being bad in bed. Against better judgment she attends the funeral and the wake. Using the opportunity to try and hook up with another old fling. When that one also dies Roo embarks on a journey to track down her exes, and find out that they all die in the order she slept with them...

The cast performs brilliantly, more so in season 1 than season 2, but still great performances. Abe Forsythe is doing a great job directing and acting. Television and movies haven't been funny in a long time. Todays market seem to be more slapstick and toilet humor, so it's refreshing seeing some black comedy that is both well written and executed.

The series is a great commentary on sex, and our generations failed attempts at handling any drawbacks. It's all fun and games... until that one day, when it isn't.
