Zea is simultaneously furious at her husband, but anxious to present a united front against their twins.
Not every joke inThe Detourlands as well.
The strip club jokes start midway through the pilot; urine gets thrown in somebodys face not long after.
But the second episode kicks off with a flat-out hilarious birds-and-the-bees family meeting.
(Q: What substance looks like shampoo, tahini sauce, and a white map of Hawaii?
A: I cant possibly reveal that on this family-friendly website.)
Like, for real,The Detourmight be aTrue Detectiveparody.
That mixture is tricky to figure out.But its already been renewed for a second season.
This road trip is off to an unsteady start, but I want to see where it goes.
