    Fundamentalism is a tricky theme, but watching ahead past the double episode opener, the problem is that Everyone Else Burns just isn’t funny enough. It aims for the ambience of an old-school sitcom but is more of an intermittently amusing light drama.

    A few unresolved plot threads and a lack of comeuppance for deserving characters suggest that the writers are holding out for a second season, but it's hard not to wish for some resolution when such a thing is no guarantee. It makes for a sitcom that is enjoyable enough in the moment but all too easy to shrug off, which is not what you'd expect from a premise with potential to be so provocative.
