About
You’ll probably like this mix of dark comedy and hope if you enjoy character-driven, emotionally honest stories, especially British satire; Not for you if you want a consistently light comedy or if themes involving suicide feel too heavy, and it may appeal less than The Little Death.
Pros: dark, witty humor; heartfelt tone; memorable cast | Cons: tonal shifts; uneven development; bleak subject matter
