    This one felt a bit off to me, as if the writer and director had a disagreement about what the tone should be. All the writing seemed to point to it being a wacky comedy, but the cinematography and score always seemed stuck on it being a serious drama. As a result, it felt to me like it kept undercutting its own jokes, while also not feeling realistic enough to get me invested in these two healing from their respective traumas. I think if it committed to one side or the other it would end up a pretty fun show, but I don’t think it weaves the two together skillfully enough to make it work (though it’s possible it will grow into something that works a bit better as the show goes on). As it is, I give the premiere a 3/5.
