Bullet in the Face

2012 · 1 season

A gleefully nasty, cartoonish crime farce that zips by on stylised violence and deadpan absurdity.

Overview: Following a botched jewel heist, sociopath criminal Gunter Vogler is forced to assume the identity of a cop he shot and work undercover to take down the city’s crime lords.
How it feels: Dark, absurd, satirical and campy. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Crime, identity, deception, violence
Content: Strong violence, gore and language. Mild sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
