Sweet, lyrical and a little cracked, it's worth seeking out.
-
It's a single-camera comedy that comes close, at times, to feeling like a live-action cartoon. It's not as hilariously cutting as "Chappelle's Show" used to be. But the tone is entertaining, and the format fits.
-
The single-camera Somebodies concept is gentle and easygoing and character-driven, which potentially makes it a pleasant, earnest little outpost, if not necessarily anything that's going to push primetime in bold new directions.
-
The episodes don't really go anywhere, but the star-writer-producer has a genial Everyman presence and surrounds himself with a rich array of characters.
-
The phrase "all over the place" barely begins to cover it.
-
The show, though, never quite jells.
