Lionsgate just launched Trailer Trash, its first original content web series. The title explains the premise of the series pretty well. Trailer Trash follows a family of four dysfunctional rednecks as they get into all kinds of low rent trouble.
Was this the best that Lionsgate could come up with? Not only is this territory that Adult Swim has already covered, but they did a better job of it. Trailer Trash goes for shock value and that's about it.
The show mirrors the Beavis and Butthead technique of organizing episodes around a music video. Only instead of music videos, Trailer Trash uses clips from movies. The gimmick could be a great way to introduce more creative storylines, but so far it has only been used to explore worn-out jokes - a Muslim terrorist, bondage, incest, etc.
Unless Trailer Trash improves, or you can't find enough quality low brow humor elsewhere, I'd skip it.
Watch Trailer Trash.
