(2.5) Trailer Park Boys! Dear god I love this series. And given that an extra show has been added I can’t be the only one. Randy and Mr. Lahey will be performing . . . something . . . tonight at Firehouse 13. And while these two characters were not the heart of the order — that being Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles — they were the nemeses propelling the “drama” along. Inept park supervisor Lahey and his shirtless assistant Randy were devoted to enforcing park rules, a goal that eluded them completely.
Nobody in this saga gets anything right. Bubbles provides the moral compass but has very little influence. Ricky, who has a highball glass surgically attached to his hand, can usually be counted on to stave off complete disaster, frequently saving Julian from himself. What rings so true here is how limited the horizons are for people like this; any day not getting sent back to jail is a victory for Ricky and Julian.
(Those unfamiliar with the Canadian mockumentary “Trailer Park Boys” can catch up on Netflix. Perfect for a snow day.)
$25 at door, 7pm & 10pm, Friday, February 5, Firehouse 13, 41 Central Street, (directions)
Not only that but Julian didn’t drink highballs,that was a rocks glass. Not my best work.
“Nobody in this saga gets anything right.”
True indeed. You mixed up Ricky and Julian in your description.
