Stop Calling It a Comedy
19 April 2023
Every time it appears on Apple TV they really keep billing it as a comedy and I'm completely baffled what you're supposed to find funny? It's not even funny in a way dry way like After Life or.even funny in a dramedy sort of way, although this is the closest category I would give it. Just don't go into it expecting to laugh, unless it's in an uncomfortable, slightly confused way.

Beyond the hard sell of comedy, this show is interesting in concept and delivery. At this point only 6 eps of season 1 have been released. It seems to be building toward something, which is what keeps you interested. The acting across the board is solid. This is definitely an ensemble cast, evidenced by the different eps being named after different town members. Rather than spoiling anything, I would say go in blind. This especially a show for you if you're into shows like the Twilight Zone, but with more heart.
