Background thought

The series was inspired by a film in which ex- drug addict Florrie Fisher spoke to a few high school students to get them off drugs. In such detail that one has to ask oneself whether this speech helped or did more damage. Together with u. a. Stephen Colbert wrote Amy Sedaris' meanest comedy series of all time.
