Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Futurama, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off: It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
