The Big Door prize is billed as a comedy but there are almost no laughs. Putting that bit of misrepresentation aside, I found that there really was no drama or suspense either.
The storytelling has wisps of The Circus of Dr Lo. A small town populace gets a glimpse of where they might be if they met their potential. A potential revealed by a mysterious machine which appears in the general store.
That's about it. Each episode concentrates on a different character. But not much really happens to them. Really. Nothing of interest happens. No superpowers appear. No new motivation to change life or circumstances happens. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
