The story is a chaotic blend of dystopian themes featuring a strong femme fatale and her sidekick navigating a world dominated by a sinister mega-corporation and a twisted ringmaster. It combines dark humor, social commentary, and zany characters, reminiscent of 80s cult classics like "Robocop," while maintaining a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek tone. Despite its over-the-top nature and mixed reviews on execution, many find it entertaining and engaging, particularly for its unique premise and clever satire.
- “We have the hot, ass-kicking femme fatale lead, her dashing, Dudley-do-right sidekick (he's supposed to be the hero of the story, but c'mon, we fans know the real deal), a dystopian future where one mega-corporation seems to control everything, and a motley cast of interesting psychopaths all controlled in marionette-like fashion by a deliciously sick-and-twisted ringmaster who presides over a sideshow, carnival-like format.”
- “The show set out with a definitive end in mind for its first season plot which makes this a great watch as you get answers even though the series got canceled, which is very rare.”
- “Terrible acting, horrible story, horrible fx.”
- “Each episode has a different theme but it's a recurring story about a post-apocalyptic world where your life depends on participating in a death race, but the kicker is, cars run on human blood!”
- “I don't know if it was canceled due to 'not being PC' but I don't care... it's fake and just a story!”

The humor in the show is characterized by its dark, over-the-top style, blending gore and absurdity with a wry, self-referential wit. Reviewers appreciate the clever timing and execution of jokes, often finding the outrageous elements both hilarious and entertaining, though it may not appeal to everyone due to its offensive nature. Overall, it delivers a unique mix of action, humor, and depravity that resonates well with fans of dark comedy.
- “The show's fiendishly dark sense of humor is always timed and executed perfectly.”
- “The meta self-referential humor is perfectly done right down to its tongue-in-cheek commentary on its cancellation on Sci-Fi through a plot in the series.”
- “Action packed, gory, sexy, and for those of us who appreciate dark humor, often quite comedic.”
