Top commenter describes it as "like a show put together by patients in a mental hospital"! Unwind with the sweeties is a 90s public access show about an odd dead eyed couple in colorful ski-mask looking puppetheads surrounded by an assortment of odd knick knacks. They refer to eachother and the audience as sweeties, chat, play with objects, make faces and sing songs to eachother 🍬 Nothing particularly horrible ever happens aside from some slight bleeding, screaming and weird dialogue but it undulates perfectly in the territory of absurd, sweet, relaxing and unnerving. It was ahead of its time and would 100% be a cult hit show on Adult Swim if it was made today.
Underrated as a TV show because of their bubblegum pop image. Surreal and stupid, but insanely entertaining. The series doesn’t really fall into a steady, consistent rhythm until episode 28, but I found myself thoroughly enjoying it by episode 3. But there‘s no real point in making a serious review about such a silly, superficial show—but it was meant to be entertaining, which it does well enough.
hear me out, y'all. this has been my comfort show for like a hundred years. it never gets old. the epitome of #wholesome. do you love:
-tiny coastal towns
-bumbling nephews
-old people having crushes on each other
-grumpy small-town doctors
-cops being shown up by an old lady
-that same old lady confronting murderers and saying things to them like, "now stop this fiddle faddle!" if you answered "yes" to any of the above, this show is for you! maybe it's just because i spent most of my childhood around no-nonsense, bookish, old people in new england, but this show is A VIBE so stop sleeping on it.
Modded with a bit of parmesan, brushed with garlic butter and dipped in hot honeymustard? Yoooooo... This is lethal how good it is! Brb I gotta go buy stretch pants and embrace my diabetic future.
And pink and red striped marimekko slippers. Because I'm having tea on the balcony watching the rain and because this dress is a big A-line sack made from a cotton bedspread its literally the most comfortable moo moo in the world that doesn't look like a moo moo.
