CGiii Comment
The opening monotonal monologue...is a humourless dirge.
Basically, this is a dramatisation of Notaro's stand-up...with added bits and characters.
To appreciate this...you really need to be in synch with Notaro's brand of humour - this pilot episodes exploits death and disease...and if you have seen her stand-up, there are no surprises.
Mundane humour with swathes of darkness and cynicism...an acquired taste.
