Apr 8, 2020Great idea and I loved the sense of mystery and wonder it develops, but the ending is corny and sappy. Unfortunate, as I really liked Philly as a setting.

The stylistic acumen of “Dispatches From Elsewhere” remains strong, if somewhat derivative of more successful works, and performances are strong across the board, particularly those from Grant, Findley, and Benjamin. But these strengths, paired with the show’s playful metatextuality, are certainly held back, to a slight degree, at least, by a well-intended relationship arc which is unfortunately misjudged.

A lot happens, but as setpieces rather than as a unifying force or plot driver. ... But it’s got heart and charm and it is quite clearly and endearingly the result of one man’s sensibility and vision. If it keeps its focus on what we really want to invest in and doesn’t slide fully into whimsical nonsense, then there will be every reason to stay.

We’re hoping that some of the quirkiness of Dispatches From Elsewhere meshes better with story as the series goes along, but the ensemble’s initial chemistry compels us to keep watching.
