The show follows “mis-adventures of foul-mouthed ex-stock car racer Dallas (Dennings) and her ass-kickin’ artificially intelligent good buddy, Robo (Cena). Together, they navigate their way around cannibal bikers, rival space truckers and vending machine burritos as they try to make a buck in the seedy world of interplanetary big rigging.”
If you’re a YouTube Premium subscriber, you can still binge the entire eight-episode run of the show on that service at the time of writing. SyFy mentions that episodes of the comedy will air on SyFy On Demand for those who prefer their TV unshackled by the restraints of the clock. The first episode is available for free and embedded below via WWE’s YouTube channel:
