  • Summary

  • The TWITS series follows the adventures of Cyril Chippington-Smythe (Michael Urie), the world's richest man, and his mechanical manservant Bentley (Dakin Matthews) as they navigate a dystopian world in search of love and meaning. This is a world in which the great minds that should have discovered electricity went into the restaurant business instead, or decided to chuck the science game because their true passion was stand-up comedy.
