"Dan Levy has developed a set of gestures so distinct you could recognize them at a thousand yards. One in particular involves tilting his head sideways and hunching up his shoulders, as if he is flinching at life."
"Nicky Dardano has a lot to flinch from. For one thing, he's a pastor in a denomination that requires gay men to stay celibate, so even though he's been sleeping with the church handyman for a year, he's perennially anxious they're going to get found out."
"Although Nicky and his sisters are all in their 30s, their lives show no signs of settling down, and neither does the show, whose eight episodes hurtle forward with ceaseless velocity and end so abruptly it's as if you've smashed into a wall."
"Chaos, in this case, comes in the form of Yusuf, who runs a store selling cheap trinkets."
