Review of The Detour

The Detour (2016–2019)
10/10
An Edgy Comedy Show with an Old School Twist
10 April 2017
This is the most culturally inappropriate show in the 21st century by far, but thats exactly why I love it, especially when everything is so politically correct these days, people get easily offended over every little detail, in a sense this kind of sensitive culture ruined comedy, comedy is satirical and cynical in nature, its a magnifying glass of truth and reality, the more restrictions you put on it, the less intelligent and creative it gets.

This show makes fun of EVERYBODY, literally, it makes fun of liberals, conservatives, atheists, Christians, governments, hippies, warmongers, misogynist, feminists, whites, blacks, Asians, even Native Americans.... and its genius and glorious, this is what equality really means, even the kids are not off limits, they curse like a trucker and its hilarious.

This show approaches the most sensitive topics of our society with surgical precision, the music is always spot on, the "We Won" conquer song and the Russia annex song make me laugh every time, the "Going Postal" song in season 2 perfectly mocked Hannibal in a respectable way, I know, it sounds contradicted, in fact this entire show is basically a walking contradiction, it deals with borderline depressing adult issues with the most immature humor, the scenarios are ridiculous yet oddly relatable, and it works, the characters are not artificial at all (Most characters on TV are predictable clichés), they act like people you would meet in real life without the typical TV filter.

This is one of the very few comedy shows that would make you genuinely laugh out loud hysterically, especially the first season, just keep an open mind and don't get offended, go watch this, you will not be disappointed.
