The TVI Take

Multiple Emmy nominations. Tina Fey's Netflix comedy about a woman rebuilding her life in New York after 15 years in an apocalyptic cult.

Moderate cognitive demands from the rapid-fire jokes and absurdist humor. Minimal educational value. Ellie Kemper's relentless optimism makes the dark premise work, the show finds comedy in resilience.
