funny

“Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” Rian Johnson’s darkest, funniest and best installment yet in his three-film detective series, takes place in a church stunned by two sins.

Ms. Waller-Bridge was almost as funny as Jean Smart in “Hacks,” which lost the Emmy to Seth Rogen’s wobbly vehicle “The Studio,” another example of the industry stroking itself.

I love that it was honest, yet funny.

The only thing she questioned was whether playing the role was too on the nose, but she ultimately decided it was funny — and that she could pull it off well.

Viewing from here, I’d call it a pleasing, funny show, easy to invest in and a reminder that you can’t judge a show by its ratings.
