Man this show... Enough positive words can't be described for how much I love and enjoy this show. My rage comes from the fact that it's only 6 episodes per season. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely blown away by this incredible show. I have been following Bashir and Diallo since their 'Message' days and it is awesome to see that they finally got their own show. It is a hilarious satire with spectacular performances (standouts include 'Charade' and 'Mary J') with some great songs too ('Time Loop')!
