About
You’ll enjoy this if you want an adult, crude puppet-and-detective mashup with occasional big laughs and a simple mystery; Not for you if raunchy gross-out humor turns you off or you want a tighter story like Baywatch.
Pros: raunchy puppet comedy; nostalgic concept; some big laughs | Cons: hit-or-miss humor; thin mystery plot; shock value overload
