How is the world wrong about Cosmic Slop
From Bryan Connolly: No one remembers this show! Sure it was only 3 episodes, but man is it good. No exaggeration, Space Traders is one of the best episodes of any show ever. It never makes any Best of HBO lists. Let’s change that. This is smart television at its finest.
