Set in the fictional town of Lemoncurd—one of those posh Connecticut suburbs where it still looks like the ’50s and every stately home sits atop acres of manicured, meticulously hydrated lawn—it follows a trio of housewives who are, yes, all named Debra. You can tell by her string of pearls that Sandy Honig’s ([_Isn’t It Romantic_](https://time.com/5523056/isnt-it-romantic-review/)) Debra is the alpha; Alyssa Stonoha’s Debra is her deadpan deputy. That makes Mitra Jouhari’s character the odd Debra out, scorned and scapegoated by her friends. In the premiere, Stonoha and Jouhari squash Honig’s pool boy between their cars. Charged with disposing of his body, Jouhari buys a purse big enough to stand up inside and pays for it with a fist-size emerald straight out of a video game. “Exact change—nice touch,” chirps the clerk. [_Desperate Housewives_](https://entertainment.time.com/2005/09/26/lost%5Fvs%5Fdesperate%5Fhousewives%5Ft/), _The Stepford Wives_, [Douglas Sirk melodramas](http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,388938,00.html) and just about every other pop-cultural depiction of the stultifying lives of women in suburbia are in the DNA of this strange and wonderful short-form series, which premieres March 29 on Adult Swim. But _Debras_, created by its stars with the backing of [Amy Poehler](https://time.com/5586412/wine-country-movie-review/)’s Paper Kite Productions, does more than remix homemaker tropes à la _Weeds_. Based on the avant-garde comedy Honig, Jouhari and Stonoha have been performing for years, the show is delightfully absurdist. The Debras wear stark white and deliver ridiculous lines (“A Debra must be ready to conceive at all times”) with mannered deliberateness. Sitcom clichés get stretched to extremes; Stonoha shoves a cop into a closet, exits wearing his uniform . . . and then he struts out in her character’s pantsuit. Ingenious sight gags abound, from a woman pruning a hedge with shaving cream and a razor to a board game called Security Questions. It’s particularly encouraging to see the Debras on Adult Swim. Beloved for stoner-friendly fare such as [_Rick and Morty_](https://time.com/tag/rick-and-morty/), _The Eric Andre Show_ and _Robot Chicken_, the brand has been criticized for its lack of female creators. As it continues to champion oddballs like [Tim & Eric](https://entertainment.time.com/2013/11/12/tim-heidecker-his-5-favorite-comedy-albums/), whose new series _Beef House_ premieres back-to-back with _Debras_, experimental comedy from women languishes on mainstream platforms. (See: Maria Bamford’s brilliant, canceled Netflix show [_Lady Dynamite_](https://time.com/4327435/bamfords-dynamite-is-a-wild-ride/).) Here’s hoping the Debras are just the first of many new female guests invited to Adult Swim’s pool party. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5809718/three-busy-debras-review-adult-swim/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5809718/three-busy-debras-review-adult-swim/"},"headline":"Three Busy Debras Brings a Wonderfully Demented Dose of Estrogen to Dude-Dominated Adult Swim","datePublished":"2020-03-25T19:05:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T08:31:09.587Z","description":"Every pop-cultural depiction of the stultifying lives of women in suburbia is in the DNA of this strange, wonderful show","url":"https://time.com/5809718/three-busy-debras-review-adult-swim/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dd00ae4b03f382a/698a0bfb4ee262524b317464/three-busy-debras-adult-swim.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Judy Berman","jobTitle":"TV Critic","url":"https://time.com/author/judy-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dd00ae4b03f382a/698a0bfb4ee262524b317464/three-busy-debras-adult-swim.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"three-busy-debras-adult-swim","caption":"Stonoha, left, and Jouhari star as two of the show’s three Debras","creditText":"Adult Swim","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5809718/three-busy-debras-review-adult-swim/","name":"Three Busy Debras Brings a Wonderfully Demented Dose of Estrogen to Dude-Dominated Adult Swim"}}]}] ```
