The Shivering Truth

Watched it while I couldn't sleep and started with episode 6. It was so disturbingly weird and profound at the same time that I loved it. It's surrealistic and illogical, yet deep and appealing. It's like a wonderful but weird dream.

It is one of the most daring short animation I've seen. A must watch.

The show is not your normal comedy. So skip it if you want to laugh.

Ok, I've been on this earth 41 years and I've never seen a show like this!! It's pure genius.

It's hard to really explain this one, as you would have to see it for yourself. It's one of a kind. It's almost like being on a shrooms trip. I mean, this show is OUT THERE. Like Pluto out there!

It's witty, sometimes scary, sometimes unexplainable, always entertaining. I wish there were more seasons. It's literally the best show on HBO Max that's only 10 minutes an episode. The stories don't blend well, but somehow they blend perfectly. As weird as that sounds, it's what makes this show brilliant. It's unlike anything you've seen and you won't ever see anything like it again.

I absolutely love everything the PFFR crowd do (some of their crew even co-write South Park.) These episodes, only 11 minutes each, pack more madness and laughter in than entire seasons of other shows. Not for the faint-hearted. If you liked Wonder Showzen, Xavier Renegade Angel or similar, this is for you.

And if you can't stand the dull fare of most output and wished to just try something unhinged and completely different, give it a go.

Nothing can quite prepare you for this show when you watch it for the first time. I sat in my armchair, grinning like an idiot, thinking "What the hell was that?" I needed more. It was as if I'd just watched someone's nightmares.

Profoundly disturbing and disturbingly profound, the show looks at the human condition through the skewed lens of surreal dream logic, it is often disturbing, usually gory but always funny. Why do butterflies hate Bali? What happens when you have too much self esteem? And what happens when you manage to get that 'little bit of God' that everyone is supposed to have inside them to leave your body at gunpoint? All these questions are answered, even though you never realised you actually wanted to know these answers in the first place.

Definitely not for everyone. It's twisted, depressing, deep, stupid, occasionally hilarious, sometimes unsettling, and undeniably creative. If you like shows made by the PFFR team and/or things that are very unconventional and are difficult to categorise you'll like this. Otherwise you're probably best skipping this one.
