Chisels & Guns - By Aramis Pacitto

          I'm sitting here on a shitty Saturday morning in October; listening to the Shadows - "Man of Mystery" --- the mood is set. Life is Hell was a always going to be a different show, it's a reflection of me & Andrew--- of action & comedy. It was never going to be conventional, never going to be restrained to labels, or whatever else. Life is Hell tells the story of the past--- the comedy--- we than flash forward into my insistent brain child--- Life will be Hell -- the still light hearted, but fiercely deadly future. Following Spear as he don's his navy suit, Desert Eagle MARK IX .50 cal & '67 Eleanor Super-snake, and his team the ex-model, sharpshooter, Riley Hunter, and the ever cautious, ex mercenary, Tyler Stone.

        Andrew was reluctant to add this into our show at the beginning, but I was quite adamant, and insistent, standing my ground saying "Our show will break the boundaries, it will be the first show ever to be both, it will hit all audiences. And [I separated each word here dramatically] it. Will. Make. Us. Different." That did it, and from that point on it was supported by both of us and at this time, Andrew even co-writes them, currently we are both working on the season 2 episode titled: "Holy Smokes" a very good Life will be Hell episode [up there with the best of them, but don't tell him that].  It has always seemed that we were two brains separated, that work best when put together, each idea building, compiling into a tower that would never be as tall with just one builder. Perhaps that's the secret? One needs a partner whose brain is a replica of your own, but where he see's comedy I see action. However, the more we work; the lines of this distinction are getting very fuzzy indeed.
  

        Anyways back to Life will be Hell. Life will be Hell sends a full grown Spear and his team into the mix from everything to gangs, hostages, cloak and dagger situations, and high class casinos. They are a Black water team (Black Opp's) meaning they are not acknowledged by the CIA, so they get caught, they're on their own, out in the cold---as that famous spy expression is. They are not Spies but a team of highly trained fixers, they eliminate people who are meant to be eliminated, get rid of secrets or create them when needed and save people in bad situations. Situations where the FBI, CIA and everyone acknowledged can't & won't touch because it's too diplomatically sensitive. These people don't exist on paper; they are ghosts, not regulated by law or politics.          They    do    not    exist.
 

          We see Spear as a young adult in this comedy Life is Hell world, we get to see how this life contrasts and has led to his future life in Life will be Hell via flash forwards. Independent of the Life is Hell, the Life will be Hell part has its own story arch, but it very much depends on what has happened in the past, Spear's past made him. And that's just damn cool to be able to spot these little Easter eggs that pop-up everywhere. So when you're done the series go back and re-watch it, and then see what you see--- you think Life is Hell? Life will be Hell, for damn sure. But of course I'm joking, not taking it too seriously, and it's very tongue-and-cheek, but that's what it is. It is what it is.  And as Spear would say- "Start Running."
