At first glance, this comes off as an almost friendly far-future story of a kind with the glimpses of the future out of H.G. Wells' Time Machine (the book version. the movies always screw up what the future people are supposed to look like). The story looks somewhat interesting - there's much mystery woven into what all has transpired to set up the setting we emerge into as viewers - but a high level of absurdantist humor and narrative leaves an unsettled aftertast to the first ep.

I like the narrator/main character. She is spunky and crafty and is interesting enough. But another episode or two will answer whether this is going to be a mess of bizarre with plot or just a mess of bizarre.
