Hell Week


I just recently bought this series and am loving it!

Two questions on the Hell Week Episode in Season 3
what was the green drink they had to drink on the ladder?
Did Johnny Depp really carry that guy or was it a dummy/stunt double?

Good to hear. I'm watching the whole show again for the 4th time myself right now. It was a well written show. It's a shame the last season couldn't capture the chemistry of the original gang and attention of viewers. I would've like to have seen this show go beyond 5 seasons. Maybe not with Office McCann as the lead though. Too bad they couldn't find another bankable star to take over after Johnny Depp's departure. But I think most shows that have the original crew leave tend to come to an end shortly after that happens. I'm not even sure if Booker came back in the 5th season that he could've saved the show.

Not sure about the green drink on the ladder. I just assumed it was a very potent liquor of sorts with a high alcohol content, bordering on moonshine.

I'm pretty sure they had a stunt double carry another stunt double on that ladder. The production company probably insures the actors and don't want them doing their own stunts.

I wanna say absinthe.

I was thinking absinthe because it was green but wasn't sure.

Either absinthe or Pisang Ambon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisang_Ambon, which fits the colour as well. I'm not sure if the latter is sold in the U.S. though (I live in Europe myself), so more probably the former.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us
