It would be easy to be outraged by Chris Lilley’s new series, Lunatics.
But it’s not really that outrageous. Sure, there are plenty of small elements that are offensive, but mostly it’s just not that funny.
Becky is a 7-foot-3-inches tall upbeat Australian teen going to university with her twin sister in California. She loves unicorns, glitter and hot pink.Quentin is a douchebag real estate agent from a family cursed/blessed with massive derrières, a toxic bro who thinks nothing of harassing women and then calling them ugly sluts if they reject his creepy advances. He’s clearly a fan of Todd Carney’s urinal antics.-style when she’s not watching them.
Actually, it’s not OK to be Gavin or Quentin. If we’re meant to find Gavin or Quentin relatable, then we have a long way to go as people.
