Just saw the Season Two finale...missed season One, wasn't into it then, whatever etc, but saw the first episode of Season Two, was hmmmm-ed out the ass, so went back and caught up/got sucked in and turned on, and now...whoa.
Don't call it "comedy". It's some of the driest, darkest, and sharpest/biting-est satire (or perhaps, simply, commentary, or perhaps just mirror-holding-up-to), there is no moment that is too awkward to derail this trainwreck, train keeping running off the tracks full speed ahead seems to be the point, perhaps because the tracks...tracks gonna be tracks, uh, right?
Final "comeback" is proof that if you ever leave home, you can never come back unless you never forget where it is, in which case, maybe the tracks don't go there, that explains a lot of things about staying on them and/or not. Or something like that, I don't know.
All the time during Friends, all the blab was like, yeah, Lisa Kudrow's really pretty smart, really! And i was like, who cares, she's smart, a lot of people are smart, bfd, but no, Lisa Kudrow is indeed very smart. Layers of smart in this show.
Smart. Layers of it.
