I miss this show.. please recommend me another
I wasn't expecting to like this show. I keep thinking about it. I believe there are three major elements why:
- A tightly knit community: We have the immediate family, a bar, and the town. There's a story everywhere and the relationships are layered and complicated.
- The characters are depressed and trying to survive: I feel that this is the main motivation of all the characters. A common theme is "growing up" - even for Beau. No one is happy and they make many mistakes while wresting what it means to love each other.
- Smart comedy helps interrupt the inevitable that everyone is going to make big mistakes, hard work, guilt, depression, and no one can really win.
I'm still really surprised that I miss the show this much. In a strange way, it reminds me of Battlestar Galatica with comedy and without the death, major plot-twists, and rampant evil.
