Featured review
It certainly leans on Monty Python vibes, but if you are looking for Monty Python you are going to be disappointed. It's a darker tale, and it uses a lot of Canadian type humor and feel. There are some decent Freudian ques and overall it does a good job of making you feel for and against various characters and their positions.

Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsTwo errors in Canadianisms: 1. Judges were (and still often are) addressed as "Your Worship" and not "Your Honour". 2. One cannot become Ambassador to the Bahamas if one comes from another Commonwealth Realm, like Canada. Canada would have had a High Commissioner in the Bahamas at the time. Presently, for budgetary and other reasons, it only has a Consulate, managed via Canada's Jamaican High Commission.
