Actors including Pascal, Normani, Thorne, Ellis, and the late Angus Cloud prove that the city isn’t nearly as interesting as the people who live there. And sometimes, it’s the freaks who really do have more fun.

While it may have the most appeal for viewers who can really tune into the time and place of its setting (others may feel left out), this crime comedy feels like a cult classic in the making.
