Absolutely zero levity ... which is absurd for a show that includes Muppets. Instead, you get a trite story that feels glazed over top of a script that originated with one social issue per episode and just got added onto over time.
I don't object to those kinds of stories, but wow, this was so overloaded. And because of that, it really failed to properly hit home with any of them. It felt like the show had no personality of its own.
Added to that, the tone was all over the place, and still not once did anything make me smile. So it became a laborious watch ... which again ... is quite an accomplishment when you include puppets!
Speaking of the puppets ... they made no difference in the story AT ALL. You would think magic realism would lead a certain way, but it really does come off as a gimmick and nothing more. Vincent's Eric could just as easily have been his own voice in his head and nothing would have been different. You could swap his job out for any other and have no measurable change in the story. If Vincent were a baker and Edgar had designed a cake that Vincent made to make amends, nothing would change ... which is very annoying because it's a massive missed opportunity.
Overall decent and a commendable effort that is reasonably well acted but disjointed in tone and personality leading to an overall disappointing and tedious watch, especially when binge watching.
