It’s getting steadily better. Very sweet show.

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.

Gotta say though, in 2020 context, the whole premise feels like elites letting themselves off too easy. A real-life version would have some tawdry Wall Street corruption for the rich family and an opioid epidemic in the small town.

Funniest scene so far, presented without context

The David subplot with the Rose Apothecary is bugging me randomly because I don’t think stores like that even work in upscale downtowns, let alone shitty towns. Weird glitch in the escapism.

In general this town is economic science fiction. Which sort of tarnishes the social fiction a bit.

Just realizing this is a progressive version of hallmark channel little towns or shows like Hart of Dixie which present a conservative nostalgia idea of a small town.

Ok did Moira start doing a completely weird cartoon elite accent in season 6 or did I just not notice it before.

Bingo. Can’t have explained it better. That was my impression.
Wholesome conservative.
