“Laid” was REALLY fun and no one is talking about it! I hope it gets a Season Two but I really wish it had a few more episodes and just told the full story. Michael was a really fun part of S1 and I hope if it does get renewed he’ll still be around.

A very underrated actor. Always look forward to seeing him in more things!
