Adult Swim’s “Common Side Effects” continues its twisted blend of conspiracy and dark humor this Sunday with “Blowfish,” an episode that finds Marshall in a particularly precarious position. Having been sprung from prison by a rather unexpected benefactor, he now owes a favor. Let’s just say, repayment involves a risky escape plan with a distinct lack of conventional getaway vehicles.
Meanwhile, Frances faces a life-altering situation back in the supposed safety of the outside world. The details remain shrouded in mystery, but it’s safe to assume it will involve further unraveling the big pharma/federal government conspiracy the duo has stumbled into. For those who need a refresher, Marshall and Frances, former high school lab partners, are hot on the trail of a cover-up involving a rare mushroom with world-altering potential – a potential cure for all diseases, conveniently suppressed by those in power.
“Common Side Effects” thrives on its blend of the absurd and the darkly comedic. Will Marshall’s prison break succeed? What earth-shattering development awaits Frances? Tune in to Adult Swim on Sunday, March 9th at 11:30 PM to find out.
