2023–2 seasons22 episodes7.7 / 10

A high-energy, darkly comedic action-adventure built on absurdist humor and vehicular mayhem across a hostile wasteland, where the tone is irreverent rather than grim despite the gore.

A motor-mouthed outsider with no memory of his past is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.
