Can I have a copy, too?
I'm not sure how much I can spare to donate, but I'd like to think I can contribute by bludgeoning Kenworth with his greatest hits.
You can, it works well as a standalone. I originally watched it with basically no knowledge of the franchise.
There's a pretty big infodump in the first episode that I've seen people get turned off by, but it gets the gist of what you need to know out of the way early and makes it accessible to people not familiar with the lore..
"I love sports!" was the best line in the entire first episode. That's all I've watched at the moment, though.
I also love Jaden's completely indifferent ramblings about the "death" of his relationship.
There once lived a crusty old Packard, who mostly needed a good smackard. He tipped in his chair and fell down the stairs, but nobody could find the will care.
That first episode was much harder to digest than expected. The plot structure was extremely generic; down on his luck protag has to overcome adversity and such, but the tone was a complete clusterfuck. I can't tell if it's supposed to be serious or if the extreme heavy-handedness of the "mature" tone is a part of a larger joke.
Also, was I the only one confused by the beginning of the episode at first? Like the couple who got killed looked, to me at least, really similar to the neighbors. I actually thought it was them until they showed up.
My favorite scene was the neighbors wearing sombreros while yelling at her for being racist. The guy throwing Taco Bell coupons at her was the best scene of the entire show, even all the seasons I haven't watched.
