If you are caught up in leveling the playing field and thinking only kind thoughts about people, this is not the show for you. If you are completely open to a show that is comically insulting to every conceivable special interest group (and I belong to one!) get your hands on this.
The bad taste in this show is a beautiful thing to see. The writing was so sharp and bitter that you laugh (shamefacedly). The only recent show that has made me laugh this much was the first 2 episodes of "Action," a Fox show about a scummy Hollywood exec with Ileanna Douglas and Jay Mohr, but that show tanked early, then got canned.
SWC was so funny that Comedy Central cancelled it after just 2 seasons. If that's not an endorsement I don't know what is.
Note: Many have compared this to John Waters. I don't dislike John Waters, but nothing he has ever done has made me laugh as hard as Strangers with Candy.
