Abby Elliott (elliottdotabby), adampally, TheStevenWeber and frandrescher star in NBC's 'Indebted.' Read the review:
just because they're half-hours airing on Thursdays, but it's hard to ignore a very clear distinction :took one of the most complicated sitcom premises in recent memory and somehow executed it with smooth ease, whiletakes one of the hoariest sitcom premises imaginable and struggles to execute it with even a modicum of consistency or confidence.makes the familiar — good comedy is never actually easy — look difficult.
There's indeed a hypothetically interesting show here and it actually cheats some familiar sitcom expectations about failure-to-launch Millennials and their Boomer parents, and contributes to the discourse about cost of health care in America and about differences in parenting between generations. Except that most of those elements aren't mentioned at all in the next two episodes.
There's also a sister played by Jessy Hodges. She's a lesbian and other than being a pile of lesbian cliches from a '90s comedy, I don't think she has any characterizations at all. Oh and Dave has a best buddy who pops up in two episodes, but NBC doesn't feature him in any of the show's official photos, nor is he listed in the main cast list, so I'm guessing he's just another piece of the show that nobody was able to figure out.
This sets up an unflattering comparison with Weber and Drescher, who can do this in their sleep.
