Adult Swim's newest animated show, Common Side Effects tells the story of Marshall, an ethnobotanist who has discovered a mushroom that can cure any injury or disease. But "Big Pharma" wants to keep Marshall's discovery a secret, and he's soon a fugitive with his life in great danger. Marshall must team up with unlikely allies, including his former lab partner and now pharmaceutical employee Frances, to keep his world-changing discovery safe. Common Side Effectsis a fast-paced comedy-drama that confronts modern attitudes towards health and sickness and asks what people would really do if that mythical "wonder drug" truly existed.
