Thanks for the recommendation

It hooked me in episode one when he takes that job in a small minor league town and Brockmire asks the Amanda Peete character why it smells so bad. She explains it's caused by the Fracking process where they pump all that crap and whatnot into the ground in order to extract oil.

Sort of how the show Stumble is skewering the new Fracking (AI Data Centers) with a little humor.
