About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like offbeat crime comedies with escalating chaos and deadpan humor, especially if Extreme Job or Midnight Runners worked for you; Not for you if you want tight realism or polished logic.
Pros: clever premise; strong laughs; engaging, twisty setup | Cons: uneven execution; shaky story logic; underused subplots
