A Pilot for a Show About Nowhere uses the premise of a pitch and the formula of Sitcom to deliver an essay on representation, self-presentation, viewership and embedded codes, as they exist on the American screen. All this, paced by commercial interruptions as Lessons, with the same stakes in hand.
Reviews
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
