Kidding - Season 1 (2018 Creator David Holdstein)

Michel Gondry is a producer, also directed a few. The premise is sort of A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood has a breakdown following the death of his son.

Jim Carrey, Frank Langella, Judy Greer, Catherine Keener, Cole Allen (the son), Ginger Gonzaga.

Liked the gang that steal and disassemble Mr. Pickles' car, realise whose it is, and quickly reassemble it again. And the kid who does fly over Niagara Falls in a barrel with a parachute.

But it's also unexpectedly dark - episode involving murderer on death row, for example. It catches the mind of someone having a breakdown in a very Gondry-ish way (scene in restaurant, for example). A quite complex mixture of things.

Showtime. 12 half hour episodes.
