Almost Heroes (2011)
Not to be taken seriously!
15 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
After watching the first episode, I was hooked! This is not a series to be taken seriously. One needs to understand that this is a joke after joke comedy series and everything including script and props in every scene is literally, a joke. I hate it when I read reviews bashing something witty simply because they take the content too seriously.

This is a story of two brothers who take over their late father's comic book store. One is a Harvard dropout and the other lives in a world all his own having truly no grasp on reality. Living and sleeping in bunk beds in the store which is located in a small strip mall next to a clothing store "Sassitude" and "Sportapalooza" with owners and workers throwing out sarcasm, puns and insults at every turn.

I actually wish I knew people like this in real life. I would laugh a lot more and the comebacks may come a bit easier during those little opportune moments when you wish you had something witty to say.

If you have ever seen and loved TV shows like "PUREPWNAGE" or "Big Bang Theory" then this is right up your alley. If you think the jokes are tasteless and your sense of humor can't handle it, stick with CSI.
