Kittens in a Cage

2015 · 1 season

A scrappy, gleefully trashy prison comedy that plays like a punk-rock pulp serial, silly and oddly sweet.

Overview: Ukulele-playing bad girl Junie Butler gets muscled into prison by her rat fink friends. Abandoned by all, she turns to the warm embrace of her pyromaniac cellmate as they plot to escape from a power hungry prison matron and an axe-murdering beauty queen.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, dark and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, betrayal, freedom, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
