Why is this put in the comedy section at the award shows?


I don't see this as a comedy at all, i mean its a highly intense drama that deals with suicide, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. I don't get how this is a comedy, i mean sure it has a few moments that can be funny, but not nearly enough to put it as a comedy, The Sopranos had a lot of funny moments in it but it wasn't labeled a comedy.

I just don't get why this is put alongside pure comedy's like Ted Lasso and stuff, i just don't think its got all that much humor in it at all. It just feels wrong seeing it put with the comedy shows like its fucking The Big Bang Theory or something.

Agreed, it’s not a comedy despite some funny moments.

It’s like putting Breaking Bad or Succession in comedy. Sure there are funny moments but it is mainly drama.

Wait, Succession isn’t a comedy??

Succession was a gritty, dark, action, buddy family show.
