![]() Not only are they as good as the men, in most cases they’re even better. What’s the best thing about it? The women on the show are particularly strong and allowed to be funny and outrageous in a way that defies the ludicrous “Are women funny?” debate we seem to have every few years. This isn’t as absurd as It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or as mean as South Park, it’s just a good-natured, slightly blue, occasionally random good time. Honey’s hilarious word for someone who is both her cousin and her aunt in the second episode, as well as the speech that follows, are the funniest things I’ve heard in a sitcom in a long time.Īll of this makes Quick Draw a perfect show for Hulu, something that would probably be too niche for broadcast but will find a devoted and ardent fan base who know quality when they see it. While many mainly-improvised comedies can feel like they’re going in a million different directions at once, Quick Draw has a wonderful cohesion that makes each episode a complete adventures packed full of unexpected jokes. It’s such a familiar structure that it allows for these comedy veterans to improvise the hell out of each scene. He has a woman that he’s in love with whom he never really attains, and a villain who he always thwarts but never captures. Like Huckleberry Hound or any of the other great Hanna Barbera cartoons, you have a hero who never changes who always seems to prevail despite himself. Is this show any good? To say that Quick Draw is cartoonish sounds like an insult, but it is really what makes the show highly enjoyable. But they’re both very easy on on the eyes so what’s the harm? Which characters will you hate? Eli is sort of a drip and his wife Pearl (Alexia Dox) seems poorly defined. Oh, and drunk whore Wanda (Kate Frisbee, the role for whom literally is a drunk whore) is always the funniest thing in her scenes. His best friend is Vernon (Cougar Town’s Bob Clendenin) who is embarrassingly and hilariously earnest. Which characters will you love? Hoyle is in love with Honey (Allison Dunbar), the town madam, who is the practical and fiery foil that he needs. So isn’t this exactly like the movie A Million Ways to Die in the West? Kind of, except people will actually see this. How faithful is the show to its 1875 time period? Not very, as a wonderful Hitler mustache joke in the first episode will attest. There is dynamite and a bear attack involved. When his arch-nemesis Cole Younger (Brian O’Connor) kills a man in front of the town and kidnaps Hoyle’s pretty but stupid deputy Eli (Nick Brown), Hoyle has to figure out how to get him back. What happens in the premiere? We are reintroduced to John Henry Hoyle (Lehr) the smartypants sheriff of Great Bend, Kansas. ![]() The show was created by John Lehr (who also stars) and Nancy Hower, who both serve as writers for the show. However in the year since it debuted the foundation has been laid for original programming on the internet to take off. What’s the show’s pedigree? The first season of Quick Draw, Hulu’s third original scripted program, didn’t make much of an impact when it landed last August. He serves as the buffoonish center of this improvised western parody. What is this show? What happens when a Harvard-educated forensics expert becomes the sheriff of a town in the wild west? No, he doesn’t solve crimes.
