4/5

David M. @Dmartinez81 May 15 Very few actually funny lines and quite the unrealistic fantasy of average people and very unrealistic sex experiences. See more Ronnell S @RT44707915 03/12/2025 Funny, just absolutely funny. Everybody showed up everybody delivered each and every episode you know I’m big On continuity, they follow up on issues that they addressed in episodes before and keep it going. It always have a plot to it and they need it and they do a great job.
