Vega's take

Bridget Everett as a 40-something Kansan piecing her life back together after her sister's death. Three seasons, complete (S3 finale 2024, ended). Quiet, warm, character-driven. Critics' darling. Doctrine-flexible: comedy-leaning so exempt, and the supporting cast (Jeff Hiller's Joel especially) anchors it beautifully.
