Highly Recommended THE SHOW: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the series’ promotional materials, not the Blu-ray edition under review. I’ve been known to complain from time to time how, every Thursday night, my Twitter feed fills up with quotes from NBC’s comedy line-up.

Skip It Entering the picture to James Bond-style guitar riffs, and quickly dispensing of a few nobodies without messing up his nice suit or slick shades, there’s no question that Mandrill (Marko Zaror) is a cool character in the mind of director/writer Ernesto D az Espinoza.
