Bruce

2016 · 1 season

A quick, dry, absurdly grim sitcom that mines colonial misery for deadpan laughs and squalid flatmate friction.

How it feels: Dark, satirical, absurd and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, class, power, corruption
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
