Ben Stiller directed it personally
Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Ben Stiller/Rose Matafeo/Brooke Colucci (2022). Edit* Episode 9 S1 is one of the greatest TV eps I’ve seen from a serialized show, still telling the story but it shines so much brighter. And deserves awards and recognition for it.

It’s a universe unto itself
This is a series unlike anything airing and has great potential to be considered one of the greats of offbeat irreverent dark comedy series ever. Can’t wait for the world building. Just give this one a chance, so far it’s not political or effected by the real world.
