    It’s clear that Drezen not only understands but treasures both the conventions of cult camp (references to Jonestown, Waco, and Rajneeshpuram abound) and the frothy touchstones of female-oriented entertainment, from Sex and the City to The Bachelor.

    The first five episodes of its first season are generally strong, if crowded with much work to do to get us to know these characters. I suspect its third season might be really something.

    Praise Petey is undeniably charming, with mile-a-minute jokes that land at least … mmm … 70 percent of the time. And heavyweights like Murphy, Cho, Root, and Clemons—not to mention Christine Baranski in a deliciously acidic turn as Petey’s ice-cold mom—make us care at least a little bit about the characters, even if the script doesn’t.
