"Deliriously wry and so perfectly balanced it should become a case study in script classes."

"RIDERS OF JUSTICE is salty, violent, transgressive, button-pushing, non-PC and laugh-out-loud funny at times – and when you’re not gasping or laughing, it’s only to wonder at the mind which pulled all of this together."
