Production
Yahoo! Inc. introduced its initial original long-form comedy series, Sin City Saints and Other Space, during the Digital Content NewFronts event in April 2014. Filming for Sin City Saints commenced in October 2014 at The Orleans Hotel and Casino. On March 23, 2015, Yahoo! made all eight episodes available simultaneously on Yahoo! Screen.
Critical
Mike Hale from The New York Times characterized the series as "a comedy less coherent than the halftime scoreboard video at an NBA game," noting that the storyline and humor appeared disjointed. Keith Uhlich of The Hollywood Reporter labeled it a "manic, mostly unfunny half-hour sports comedy," pointing out issues with casting and the limited range of performances by Akerman and Santino.
Financial
On October 21, 2015, Yahoo's CFO Ken Goldman disclosed a $42 million write-down connected to their slate of original programming, which included season six of Community and Other Space.
