TVOM: There’s always a lot of talk with young comedies like Weird Loners about “the ensemble” and whether the cast “has chemistry” together. Yes, this is important, but even more important is going one layer deeper, and observing the various dynamics within this ensemble between different characters; the formula most comedies follow splits up the cast into pairs, catalyzing stories based on various character quirks (and as a show grows older, established rhythms of conversation). Being able to pair any two characters off for a story that’s both funny and meaningful is key: it allows a show to keep itself fresh by constantly moving parts around and growing relationships, rather than falling into the same patterns of interactions that indicate a lazier, formulaic approach to comedy.
