It's a mixed bag, but an enjoyable one, an odd comment about the apocalypse. It's a deadly serious subject matter filmed with all sorts of human daffiness. The actual funniest scene, and one that sets the tone, is at the very beginning between Steve Carell and his wife. Keira Knightley seems to be really enjoying herself without having to wear a corset and has a delightful scene with a police officer. He is downright depressing throughout, but Carell is the one actor/character who plays this to match the seriousness of the subject matter, something I assume the creators thought clever as he is the one true comedian here. Connie Britton, always good, is a delight in a small role. There are a lot of small performances that make this what it is including an unnamed character appropriately portrayed by Amy Schumer. It's certainly flawed and it's not for everyone, but it is unusual.
