About
"Redemption, one dumb good deed at a time"
After winning a lottery ticket, small-time crook Earl Hickey has a moment of clarity: karma is real, and he owes the world for years of bad deeds. He writes a list of every wrong he's ever done and sets out to make amends, one name at a time. Each episode is a self-contained mission with a trailer-park cast of oddballs, narrated in Earl's plain, good-hearted drawl. It's broad, silly, and structured like a sitcom fable, but it has real warmth under the redneck-comedy surface and a surprisingly sweet moral engine driving every episode.
Watch it for
the list format, which turns petty redemption into a satisfying weekly mini-story.
Maybe skip if
you find broad trailer-park comedy or a laugh-track sitcom rhythm grating.

"Karma" should be a four-letter word. Just ask Earl, the lovable loser with a hilarious laundry list of dirty deeds that need undoing, from stealing a children's bookmobile to getting his babysitter pregnant - the hard way! And, while Earl's brother Randy starts a karmic list of his own, Earl's ex-wife, Joy, and her husband are movin' on up to the suburbs. Trouble is, you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl.
