Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020)
Such promise, destroyed by the final episode
It started off slow, got to a really interesting place and then meandered....
Off a cliff.
It's based on an interactive game that was played in SF a few years back. See the documentary THE INSTITUTE for more details.
The premise interested Segal enough that he wanted to make a series about it. Kudos for AMC to breaking out of the Zombie and vampire hell they've created for themselves but still.
If only someone had been brave enough to tell him to throw out the last episode, never to be seen again, this would've rated as high as an eight.
Instead it changes into something else entirely.

Tragedy plus time...
There's say tragedy plus time equals comedy.
If this was over infinite time it still wouldn't be funny.
When I next go to Oz I will visit the wineries, go to the pinnacles, swim with sharks (Involuntarily) And do whatever.
But I will avoid stand-up if this is the best they have to offer*
So little cleverness in comedy I have yet to see. Maybe they do the US and or a UK version but by God I will avoid a second season if it returns.
* Frank seems like he does have a spark above the others. And San seemed like he could be a good film or TV character. But the rest, meh.
