About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a nostalgic, culture-rich comedy with heartfelt drama about a community meeting new technology; Not for you if you dislike episodic, sketchy storytelling or subtitle-dependent humor, like in Sour Apples.
Pros: warm comedy-drama mix; memorable quotes; lively ensemble cast | Cons: sketch-like structure; shallow social commentary; humor may not translate
