CAUTION: This article contains major spoilers for the People of Earth episode “Why Can’t We Be Friends.”
More than anything, People of Earth on TBS is an ensemble comedy series — and a great one at that. The first season established this with the interlocking stories of StarCrossed’s alien abductees experiencers, and their alien captors/harassers. So far, the second season has carried this torch with Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show), Ana Gasteyer (Saturday Night Live), Oscar Nunez (The Office) and most of the original cast — along with newcomer Nasim Pedrad (New Girl). As tonight’s game-changer of an episode demonstrated, however, the strength of People of Earth‘s overlapping ensembles will soon be tested. What’s more, the creator’s intended anthology format will also face its first trial run.
