And it's sort of similar to me to the way that I loved Reservation Dogs, the great comedy that was set on an Oklahoma Indian reservation a couple of years ago.

Here, the family that the show depicts, you meet them as they're driving to a funeral when the kids are younger.

You take second exit after exit.

You will later see the kids as middle-aged adults with their own children.

You see people age and get younger and die.

And in the process, you start teasing out all the relationships that develop among, you know, just the web of this family.

And the slights that emerge in somebody's youth that become, you know, part of their neuroses when they're older.

To me, it was just, it was a...

beautiful, moving, often just absurdly funny way of just telling the story of how a group of people came to be who they are.

And I would recommend it to just absolutely anyone.

Yes, and you're also not going to spend like three years finding out.

A crockpot killed somebody, yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Slow cookers.

It was devastating for the slow cooker.

Oh my God.

I butcher my chicken out.

I'm not a chicken.

Yeah, I'm a thousand percent on the Andor train.

And, you know, I consider just, you know, the reliance on IP to be the curse of television life.
