The ending is adorable, too, which makes the crazy worth the ride. It’s quirky but in the best sense of the word. Unfortunately for our hero, he doesn’t understand this. It’s rare to have the gift of second changes. Moist is punished for his thoughtless behavior but yet at the same time he isn’t he’s gets something more valuable, a second chance.

Almost everything has a different outcome than we visualize. In addition to a script with some truly memorable witty one-liners, the series is impressively clever in both its execution and sets.

Moist finds he has quite the task ahead of him including an incompetent postal staff and ghosts haunting the building.

Waiting on him is the formidable Lord Vetinari (Charles Dance). He’s sentenced to death, only instead of waking in the hereafter, he wakes in a coffin, a little worse for wear but fine. But times go bad when the authorities finally catch up to him. Years follow, and his cons grow bigger and better. Following the death of his parents, Moist is left with next to nothing, save for the “family nag,” but with some boot polish, he transforms his sorry excuse of a horse into an impressive stallion and his career begins. At least this is how Moist Von Ludwig (Richard Coyle), a budding con man chooses to look at life.
