Obviously silly in so many, many ways, but I was not expecting this to be as clever and funny as it is. I waved it off during the previews cause I wasn't interested. I caught a few minutes of it and kept watching. Then I watched the episode that came after it. Now I'd gladly tune in for it. A lot of obvious material, but the actors are charming and game and they pull it off surprisingly well. You have to give it some grace for its budget and Hercules/Python leanings, but I'm kinda liking it a lot. The writing is actually...(honest)...quite sharp for what it is.

It's at least a lot better and more "original" than the Epic Movie/Scary Movie series, with which this series shares a link: the lead in Krod was "Leonidas" in Meet the Spartans, but he's actually funny here.

I'm kind of looking forward to what they do with this. It's more clever than it needs to be, and I was laughing some big, silly laughs.

Exactly. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure about the "token black wizard" who seems to be doing his best Murphy+Rock+Tucker impersonation for some reason, but I enjoyed the cast and the villains are simply a hoot.

I made it about seven minutes in and turned it off. Just... couldn't.

I guess they did turn the "Gross out sex humor" dial to... twelve.

Other than some of the more explicit gay stuff, I didn't think the humor was that much "gross out" in nature.

Depends on the point of view. Me and you - perhaps not. Mara - yeah...

Also, don't forget, besides gay sex of all kinds, we had: bestiality, gangbang, implied masturbation (unless I read the "get me a tub of goose fat and a clean sock" wrong)... It's your average day in porn land, but can gross out many people.:P

Perhaps true enough...

I watched about 15 minutes of an episode and turned it off. I'll be surprised if it makes it to season 2.
