When I first read the description I didn't think I would like it because I generally don't care anything with degenerate gamblers in it. Fortunately I watched the trailer. The laughs I got from it made me check out the series. My one complaint is it is only eight episodes this season. It has been renewed so hopefully there will be more episodes next season...
What sets this apart is they are not the kind of bookies you usually see in movies. They sometimes act like they will break limbs, but in the end they don't do business that way because they want to keep business above board. So when some collage kid steals jewelry from his step mother because he is convinced they will hurt him, and they decide to give the jewelry to the women in their lives rather than fence them it ends up backfiring on them in a very funny way.
All in all there's just so much subtle humor you have to catch and get good belly laughs. Unlike the humor on most regular channels sitcoms that slaps you across the face with it as well as a laugh track to let you know when it is supposed to be funny...This is a real gem.
