This is just to get your attention.
The second season of Deli Boys just dropped on Hulu. I reviewed an episode of the first season, and gave it a B: not enough beefcake, but some gay characters, including Brian George, whom men of a certain age remember as Babu on Seinfeld, as the season's Big Bad.
The Premise: After their father is murdered, Pakistani-American brothers, the hardworking Mir (Asif Ali) and the screw-up Raj (Saagar Shaikh), inherit his deli and DarCo, a company that produces and sells achar (a pickle relish). Soon they discover that they are actually transporting cocaine to drug dealers in the West Philly market. Two of Dad's consiglieres, Aunt Lucky and Ahmad (Brian George), show them the ropes of their new business -- until Ahmad, betrays them in a ploy to gain control. Oh, and he's the one who murdered their Dad.
Scene 1: DarCo is now the Number #1 cocaine distributor in Philly, grossing $2 million per quarter, but with fame comes notoriety: Every criminal is trying to "jack their shit" So the guys and Aunt Lucky go to Max Sugar's casino to ask for his help in laundering their drug money.
Max (Fred Armisen) resists the idea... whoops, he catches someone cheating with weighted dice, so he goes down to the floor and forces the guy to eat them. Dude is dangerous!
Back to business: he is extremely attracted to Aunt Lucky, and agrees to discuss the matter further, over dinner tonight.
Left: Not Fred Armisen.
Scene 2: DA Andrew Chadwater (gay actor Andrew Rannells) is running for mayor on a platform of cracking down on "dealers, sickos, and crooks," with the campaign slogan "Say 'heck, no' to drugs." Sounds like Nancy Regan's "Just Say No" campaign in the 1980s.
At headquarters, he gets the intel on the latest fad, where you mix cocaine with ices. His assistant points out that his ex-husband was a cocaine addict, so he has a personal stake in the issue.
"We're not talking about Craig" Chadwater exclaims. "Did he call?"
"No."
"Gosh-darn it! If it weren't for the Dars Gang selling cocaine, Craig would be at home right now making me a pasta."
"Wait...wasn't he addicted before the Dars Gang..."
"That's none of your business. You're fired. Teach the twink your job and go."
