I don't know what I was expecting from The Foxhole Court, but it was not that - and I generally mean this in a positive way. It's way grittier than I anticipated, and also much more absurd. A fake lacrosse-like sport? A mafia father? The yakuza?? (I know this is in the summary but I suppose I expected to come off more... fanfictiony, for lack of a better word.)
And yet, for all its outlandishness, it does a damn good job making you take it seriously. The members of the Foxhole court are all fascinating fuck-ups. I am intrigued by Andrew's drugged, messed-up ass in particular. I'm cutious to see where it will go, when will they find Neil out, etcetera.
