Shocking, controversial. These are just some of the words you’ll hear about SBS2′s new series ViveCoolCity. Remember how SBS used to be notorious for foreign movies with graphic sex scenes? This is a show that they had to show at 11:30pm! Yeah, it’s even hardcore by SBS standards!
Starting out as an online series that got a whopping 10 million views, it was inevitable that it would some day reach television. Showing the underbelly of Australian society, hosts Kirk Docker and Ryder Susman take you on a weird journey where they work out and play table tennis at a nude gym, learning how to make breast milk ice cream (yummy!), and seeing the daily lives of heroin addicts shooting up in their Collingwood housing commission flat. Wholesome family entertainment this is not.
With the pilot episode airs on Tuesday 21 May at 11:30pm on SBS2, if you think a show like Jackass takes things way too far, ViveCoolCity will make Jackass look like Play School! In another words, it’s going to be a real eye opener (possibly quite literately with the stuff going on here!). Even Aussie television icon Andrew Denton praised the show in his witty way: “Seditious. Ugly. Confronting. Disturbing. Four good reasons to love ViveCoolCity.”
