However, the writers use this premise as a tool to introduce its audience to
several wacky characters and five episodes in, it becomes a comedy about a group of people living in a cul - de-sac, rather than cougars preying on young men.
Several other
characters with
wacky nicknames show up: Dr. Ed «Braz» Brazzelton (Delroy Lindo), Major Rebecca «Beck» Childs (Hilary Swank), Rat (D.J. Qualls), and Talma «Stick» Stickley (Alfre Woodard).
