Before episode one
The premise is a fictional comedy about bereavement and adulthood; this introduction avoids later plot developments.
A thought to take with you.
Chi’s challenge is not a grand quest but a list of everyday obligations. The comedy comes from watching her try to meet them in her own way.
Is it your kind of series?
Try it for a short British character comedy with an unconventional lead. Expect deadpan humor around work, money and independence.
Three ideas to take with you.
- Growing up is not a single milestone.
- Practical independence can be learned unevenly.
- Comedy can expose assumptions about what adulthood should look like.
