Written by James Poniewozik for The New York Times, it highlights how the show expertly dismantles the classic "quirky small town" sitcom template. Instead of treating the eccentric locals as harmless joke delivery systems, creator Katie Dippold treats their bizarre superstitions as absolute, terrifying reality.
