The survivors of an alien attack attempt to rebuild human society while improving on past mistakes in an animated comedy by Robert Carlock and Sam Means ('The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt').
is understating its premise. The animated comedy isn’t about justsecond chance, but arguably the ultimate second chance: the chance to rebuild society, but better, in the wake of an alien attack that’s apparently wiped out all of humankind besides a thousand or so souls in the Washington, D.C., metro area.
Its central joke, however, is that there isn’t really any such thing as a clean slate. The world may have changed, but people fundamentally haven’t, and so most of its 10 half-hour episodes are spent watching humanity fumble their way back toward the same bad habits that doomed them the first time. But it’s one thing for characters to retreat into old patterns. It’s another for a series to do so.
