Not only the jury of the competition Emmybut also for that, Golden Globe and even its cast. When asked how the show’s grim and touching tale of Berzatto could be considered humorous, it all seems to hinge on the idea that Behind the painful story lies a lot of tongue-in-cheek satire.

The truth is that whatever the answer — it is not yet clear which side of the emotional spectrum the production leans toward — one thing is clear. Bear managed to combine elements of several different genres into a seemingly simple story. Much more, to make them all more interesting, complex and human, to tell a story in which it is not easy to determine where the plot is going. Which makes the story richer, more unpredictable and more human.

No one seems to have escaped what seems to be a biological lottery that is still not entirely understood. No one except her, who after turning eighteen – the moment when someone’s mysterious gift manifests – remains an ordinary girl.
