It’s a cringe-people show but unlike most cringe-people shows it’s about cringe people living through the mild karmic justice effects of being cringe rather than just happy-go-lucky carrying on being cringe without consequences

It’s an effective mashup of cringe and the older we-lost-everything genre where city people lose everything and go rural (like the Tim Allen one where they become Amish or something). Good combo.

It’s a bit like Arrested Development but somehow manages to be kinder without being sentimental

Interesting that people find this dumber than Arrested Development. Not sure what that means. I found AS to be a bit overwrought tbh, like a caper movie. Like the writers were showing off to each other. I think I prefer the cleaner lines of SC. The story doesn’t trip over itself.

Kindness is very hard to write. Most shows land on schmaltz when they aim for kindness.

I feel like the best parallel is with Parks and Rec, esp in that both take a season to find their feet
