Not a comedy at all, still good
Not sure why they promoted/labeled this as a comedy.
I guess the marketing people saw Chris O'Dowd and they assumed it was a comedy (and not in the Greek sense)?
You will not laugh with this. You might smile a bit during some sweet and tender moments, but no funny moments.
Expect comedy-seekers to be very dissapointed and give real bad scores.
Sci-fi people will give a fair score (as mine).
A machine shows up in a town, which uncovers people's "potential".
You'll have many theories about how it determines the "potential", but it definitely shakes these people's small-town lifes.
It's well paced, keeps you watching without boring you, throwing a bone now and then, being smart (not "really smart", but smart enough), it doesn't feel gimmicky, all flows fine,...
It's not rivetting, and it's very definitely not a comedy.
It's not brilliant, but it does feel sincere and is well done.
Clearly better sci-fi than most of the stuff out there.
Will watch future episodes.
Thanks to the guys making it.
