LONDON, April 20, 2012, 2:52 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Actor/producer Sean Hampton (CSI, 90210) has teamed up with producer Matt Getic to launch a new sketch comedy series entitled The S&M Experience. "The series fills a gap in the comedy world," Getic said in a statement. "We're not chained to conventional characters and a formulaic structure with this show."
The series has not officially launched but the duo has already raised eyebrows due to the off-color and racial material in some of their skits. Hampton (who is African American) and Getic (who is Caucasian) both feel such criticism is misguided. Commenting on the issue Getic says, "Our creative process doesn't come from a place of hate, so taking offense to our comedy is ridiculous. The evening news has one hundred percent more racially motivated material than our skits." Hampton backs his co-creator on this subject and challenges their detractors. "There are a lot of people looking to capitalize off of others work. I think there are more false claims of offense than genuine outrage."
Aside from these issues preliminary critic response has been glowing. The series will launch on April 26th and the creators have decided to keep their distribution model to new media outlets only. When asked about the decision Hampton said, "We decided to keep our material new media because that will ensure it stays ours. Running it through the political correctness filter will take away from everything we're trying to accomplish."
