My overall impression

Minor spoilers ahead: I am always thoroughly impressed with what Robot Teammate comes up with, and I’ve known them for a while, and in my opinion, this show really showcased their vocal ranges in ways that I didn’t know existed, specifically in the duet between Molly and Kat’s characters where the blend is impeccable and the vocal quality is strong—really impressed with Dave’s baritone register and Chris’ ability to rattle off a pseudo patter song with such energy and grace. While I still find myself singing the theme song to Thug Tunnel, Pockets is such a fun, tongue-in-cheek show that just continues to throw surprises (and a LOT of cast members whom seem to be underutilized but really help fill the space and make it feel like a crowded city) and extreme potty humor in the mix. And I’m a sucker for potty humor.
