Yahoo! Inc. announced its first original long-form programs, the comedies Sin City Saints and Other Space, in April 2014 at the 2014 Digital Content NewFronts.[6] By early October, production on Sin City Saints had begun at The Orleans Hotel and Casino.[7] Eight episodes were released simultaneously on Yahoo! Screen on March 23, 2015.[8]
Mike Hale in The New York Times called the show "a comedy less coherent than the halftime scoreboard video at an NBA game", where "[p]lot points and jokes feel as if they came from index cards grabbed at random." Keith Uhlich at The Hollywood Reporter felt the "manic, mostly unfunny half-hour sports comedy" featured "sub-Tracy and Hepburn bickering ... that barely elicits a smirk, let alone busts a gut", and called the casting "problematic.... Both Akerman and Santino are irritatingly one-note."
On October 21, 2015, Yahoo CFO Ken Goldman announced during a Q3 Earnings Phone Call that their original programming lineup last spring resulted in a $42 million writeoff, including season six of Community and Other Space.[9]
