Mikey Saber is a washed-up porn star who returns to his small Texas hometown, not that anyone really wants him back.
Rex actively underplays Mikey’s self-interest and cruelty, so that — in a way — the audience becomes an equal target of his manipulation.
★★★★
A salty, irreverent, digressive journey through the oiliest corner of America’s underbelly
★★★★
It is Rexs extraordinary puppy-dog vigour that makes the character tolerable in spite of his repeated appalling decisions.
★★★★★
[A] deliriously funny and deviously satirical new comedy about a very specific, finely sketched specimen of parasitic American hustler.
★★★★★
