Interesting. Weird is not how I would describe it. Why did you find it weird?

I just saw that they were shut out of the Golden Globes, so my hopes aren't high for the Emmys :(

The story was relatively straight forward but I felt like it was a tonally weird show. It was a drama but it did verge on being absurdist and comedic at times with falling outright into those things. The dialogue was also pretty stylised. I’m not saying that was a bad thing as I thought the dialogue and some of the acting were both fun but they were definitely a noticeable stylistic choice.

Oh, I see what you mean. I agree with you on the absurdist and stylized elements. it's definitely not a typical drama.
