Based on Shipwrecked Comedy's past projects like Poe Party and Gilded Lily, I was expecting Headless to be a witty show packed with oddball characters and joke rich scenes. This time the Persaud sibling writing duo surpassed themselves in humor and in crafting complex emotional arcs for their characters. I definitely did not foresee some of the relationships that would develop or the choices certain characters would have to make. The last episode zigzagged between tragedy and optimism. The themes of building friendships, relying on community, and moving forward through grief were beautifully developed throughout the show.
Some favorite performances: Jimmy Wong as Max Lee, Sinead Persaud as Mathilda Bishop, Gabe Greenspan (a legend!) as Brom Bones, Sarah Grace Hart as Lucretia Lazenby (a BAMF, please excuse me, God Bless America), John Rubenstein (!) as Baltus Van Tassel (loved his take on the character, especially knowing he was not the original actor cast in the role, now I can't imagine another option), Krystina Arielle as Judy, The Babes.
I can't stop thinking about it! I would love a season 2.
