A small town in the Northeast is turned upside down when local legend and town namesake, Nathan Rutherford (Ed Helms) fights the moving of a historical statue.
The ambition, timeliness, and necessity of Rutherford Falls' story cannot be overlooked. These are tricky subjects and themes for any series, and especially for a comedy.
It manages to entertain while depicting a conflict that's grounded in something akin to reality without oversimplifying the complexities of the themes it addresses or flattening the personalities of the parties involved.
Watching the first four episodes of the smart and breezy and instantly likable Peacock sitcom "Rutherford Falls," I wondered which of the supporting characters would eventually emerge to become major featured players and which might fall by the wayside.
Quite simply the best thing I have ever seen on television. Groundbreaking in its approach. Newcomer Jana Schmieding sparkles, Ed Helms crushes, Michael Greyeyes mesmerizes. My first 11/10.
It's more genial and wryly amusing than laugh-out-loud funny... Like many of the series Schur has produced, Rutherford Falls feels like it's still figuring itself out in these early episodes.
Rutherford Falls integrates Native culture with character-driven, funny stories that share the vibe of previous Schur offerings like The Office, Parks And Recreation, The Good Place, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine
