The long awaited return of Canada's second greatest comedy export (second maybe to SCTV-arguably) sees the middle aged "kids" in a murder-mystery- miniseries of occasional outrageous proportions. Like the Kid's previous spin-off (1995's critically lambasted "Brain Candy"), it is an uneven affair with almost as many virtues as flaws and therefore is most recommended to the troupe's hard core fans. Still, if you're attuned to it, it can be a real scream of political incorrectness with such taboos as necrophilia, abortion, murder, closet homosexuality, drunk driving, capital punishment, unplanned pregnancy, (animal) euthanasia, child mental retardation along with its' theme of murder and comic mayhem all put to their unique form of comical skewering. "DCTT" is pretty funny overall even though unlike the more clever "Brain Candy", it doesn't have much of a point when all's said and done. Some episodes fare better than others all leading to a rather limp-ish finale with the final revelation of the killer being no revelation at all. Still, at its' much longer running time, it is inevitably funnier than "Brain Candy" with some good performances and some really funny characters. My personal faves include Foley's friendly town abortionist, Macdonald's boom operator (Shaye), McCulloch's arrogant City Lawyer, Thompson's sad closeted coroner and of course McKinney's Death played as the scuzziest drug dealer/skater type you knew post high school only pot bellied and snaggle-toothed with a penchant for redheads. Love that "Got a job to do" song.
