Plot

[edit | edit source]

The series follows the infamous Danny Doom and aspiring bartender, Lhandi, serving beer across a hellish wasteland in their mobile pub, The Oasis. Their job takes them head-on with ruthless desert gangs, memory-stealing creeps, and even mean latrinalia, all while trying not to kill each other.

Producer Josh Bowen describes the show as “Mad Max meets Cheers in the Mos Eisley Cantina.”[8]

Production

[edit | edit source]

Paying homage to his Australian upbringing and love for “Ozploitation” film, series creator O’Keefe began the project through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015. The series was then picked up by Look Mom! Productions, a Blue Ant Studios company, and developed with Executive Producer Joshua Bowen.[9]

The series was initially commissioned by the now-defunct streaming service Quibi in April 2020 before it went dark later that year. Roku subsequently acquired the series in January 2021, and premiered it on The Roku Channel on January 28, 2022.[10]

The project was produced almost entirely throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Producer Josh Bowen is quoted as saying "Josh (O'Keefe) literally produced this show from my mom's basement with the help of her home cooked meals. The final product is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our team."[11]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media gave the series a 3 out of 5.[12] Justin Epps with BubbleBlabber gave Season 1 a 7/10.[13]
