It's rare that something is as good as you secretly wish it would be
One Mississippi is that good.
It's tender and dry and soft with a touch of weirdness in the most cherish-able way and, is basically an incredibly satisfying encapsulation of all those parts of Tig Notaro which her fans so adore.
I love that it can't be put into a specific genre or category - again, just like Tig. I almost think of it as a mosaic of sorts because you can feel how much care and thought was put into each tiny spec.
I've seen Tig act in a couple of other things where I felt her "Tig-ness," wasn't really showcased much, if at all. One Mississippi works for her in every way. I was constantly reminded of how much she 'lets people in,' as both an actress and just as a person with a life story. The character of the stepfather Bill and the actor who plays him was also a knockout.
I'm sorry that it's only six episodes, however, it seems to speak to the integrity which is palpable throughout every bit of the show. There's not one moment of fat (again, just like Tig).
If you're a Tig fan, you've just hit the mother load.
