In the first episode, titled “Freud’s Dilemma”, we are taken to Canada where Chris and the guys shoot a music video. This episode has guest star Bai-Ling as herself, and is taken from a true-life experience once lived by Isaak. Chris has just broken up with his girlfriend, and is reminded of her, as well as perplexed, by the quiet woman who strips next door (full nudity shown). His real life mother makes a cameo, only to come to the conclusion that he needs to “come to terms with his libido” Other sub-plots include manipulation of a homosexual male to get a television slot, and band-member Anson (played by the hysterical Jed Rees)who romances a young horsewomem; only to run away from her when he feels challenged by her horses endowment. All this comes together in a weekend, and is the installment of things to come for crooner, Chris Isaak. Although this is supposed to be a comedy, or moreso a sitcom, I laughed once at the show as the bland production values and envelope pushing stretch the Showtime Channel Tagline “No Limits”. Although some minor redeeming qualities shine through, the show is not worth sitting throuh the muddled profanity and ambiguous nudity.
