Season 1 · Episode 8

Thursday, November 9, 2023 • Duration 21:49

The Season One finale!

It's hot AF outside and inside too because the AC broke down in The Complex. Temperatures, and tempers, are flaring! And when a musty tenant rubs Cici and Funks the wrong way, they have a few choice words for her. But what they don't know is that there's a new law on the books that protects people like this and now the girls, and the entire building are in danger of losing it all!

S1E4 - Soul Trained

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, October 12, 2023 • Duration 19:05

Dang! The Complex is losing money and needs some new marketing to attract new tenants! And no new tenants means Mr. Callahan will have to sell the building to a greedy businesswoman and Cici and Funks will have to go find employment (and housing) elsewhere. Maybe a viral dance video would help! But wait, Funks can't dance!

Oh lawd... maybe Mr. Callahan's annoying son can help out.
