I loved the fact they let the first episode stand as its own thing. One thing I was worried going into this was they'd panic and be afraid that they'd lose the viewer's interest without including obvious plot points about what the story is really about or throwing in big showy action and drama scenes upfront to placate the Marvel brand's expectations. But having the first episode just be a standard sitcom plot with only little else to give things away works really well to keep things surreal and shows a lot of faith in the patience of the audience. I absolutely appreciate it, and more shows and media could do well to have that subtlety and willingness to commit to daring things like that.

Yeah, completely agree with this. And I mean, I LIKE the standard MCU stuff. But I'm glad that they dared to not dip into that well too quickly and just really lean on the sitcom homage stuff - I think it makes the future episodes stronger.
