This Amazon original series is a dark comedy inspired by events in comic Tig Notaro's life. Starring as a Los Angeles-based radio host of the same name, Tig is still dealing with serious health issues, including recovering from a double mastectomy. When her mother becomes gravely ill, Tig returns to her hometown in Mississippi, where she is forced on a painful (and at times, hilarious) journey that unearths uncomfortable truths about herself and her family. In order to heal, both physically and emotionally, Tig must reconnect with her roots before moving forward.

Critics Consensus

One Mississippi proves an honest vehicle for its moving dramatic narrative, observational comedy, and the genuine acting skills of its lead, Tig Notaro.

3/5

One Mississippi's pace and tone are casual and languid, but it's also similarly personal and surprisingly intimate. Tig has an openness that not only makes her an exceedingly likable presence, but one that feels truly knowable.

3.5/5

If there's one thing I love about One Mississippi, it's that the series perfectly captures how we tend to view relationships with the recently deceased through rose-colored glasses.

4/5

One Mississippi is hardly a comedy, and it's not really about trauma. It's about recovery, and you'll come away from it feeling healed.

Another semi-autobiographical gem.

Comedy is tragedy plus time. [Tig Notaro's] latest project, Amazon's "One Mississippi," finds comedy during one of the darkest periods of Notaro's life.

Anyone who has been exposed to Notaro's stand-up will recognize her wry, deadpan delivery, and it works well here.

Amazing show, raising many taboo and unspoken topics in a fine cinematography. Would love to see more shows of this calibre being lauched

Dec 12, 2017

The first season of Tig Notaro's semi-autopbiographical dark comedy is largely successful, and mostly regarding how it so deftly balances its joy and misery. Drawing from Notaro's own experience (which has been a driving force in her deadpan standup), One Mississippi brings up dark subject matter for sure, from child molestation to cancer. Still, it's fully endearing, with Notaro always being an immense pleasure to watch, even at her most droll, and the tone of the show works wonders with her demeanor. Some of the humorous dream sequences feel a bit out of place (the show is strongest when it feels most natural), and the writing isn't as inventive as some other post-Louie comedies, but it's a very efficient first season that succeeds at being sublimely personal.

It's everything--brave and funny and sad and weird. I could watch it for twenty seasons, that's how in love with these characters I am.
