No, this is a lodge as in Elks Lodge, or more like the Water Buffalo Lodge from The Flintstones.

Plus it has a lodge, which is pretty cool, but not in that cool woodsy lodge vibe of shows like Twin Peaks or Wayward Pines. And that modern chaos and confusion you can find in the Zach Galifianakis show Baskets. The pathetic and at the same time hilarious lead played by Caroline Dhavernas in Wonderfalls.

The dance between fantasy and reality that was Jeremy Piven’s series Cupid. The unlikely situational family antics of the Eddie Izzard series The Riches. The humor of AMC’s new series Lodge 49 pulls from those oddball, off-the-wall comedies of the past.
She becomes his partner, and the team expands to include a kindly older lady played by Oscar-winning actress Sally Field, and an uptight genius played by André Benjamin. Her imagination finds her carrying out a conversation with a painting of a woman in a museum. He meets a transgendered woman named Simone, played by Eve Lindley, whose endearing enthusiasm is simply stellar, especially in the Simone-focused second episode (consider this series her breakout role). This leads him to the beginning of his journey with this strange Jejune Institute–the exact place for someone who doesn’t think he’s special. On a whim he pursues one of the brochures, calling a number he tears from the bottom.

But he brings to the table a vivid imagination, working out in his head (and brought to the TV screen for viewers) those things he ponders, beginning with his reactions to a string of flyers taped to street posts.
Writer/director Jason Segel plays a near extension of his character in How I Met Your Mother named Peter, this time he’s single, living in an apartment in Philadelphia, disengaged from everything, and embarrassed of the boring nature of his data assembly job in the music industry.
Not so self-indulgent like dramas with a similar off-center sort of production design and story like Legion or, the show searches out the honesty of lost and lonely souls at work on the street corner or at home, all searching for more meaning from their lives. Our on-screen heroes each have their own personal issues–at the core is the average person dealing with the monotony of the daily grind, with the first four episodes spotlighting each member of an unusual assemblage. Dispatches on Elsewhere is a ten-episode limited series that challenges its characters (and the viewers at home) to examine their own lives. Central.ĭepending on your perspective, your tolerance of the unusual, and your openness to new things, like the four lead characters on the screen, you may think the series is about a game, a hoax, a conspiracy, or something very real. It’s writer/director/star Jason Segel’s Dispatches from Elsewhere-the first two episodes are now available on AMC and at AMC’s website, with new episodes airing each Monday night at 9 p.m. It also hails from AMC, and carries over many of the same themes as that drama/comedy masked as fantasy about a group of people stuck in a similar place in their lives who find that spark of magic to get them back on track. For anyone still in withdrawals and languishing from the news that AMC’s Lodge 49 did not get renewed for a third season, a new show premiering this week may help fill the void.
