Want some intrigue, or loud rock music, or a gunfight, or a car crash, or a woman becoming depressed about her dead mother, or fighting her drug addiction? There you go. High Desert, Barry, Black Ops and their like remind me slightly of the Renaissance theatre, where performers would cycle through the plays in their repertoire until they found one that suited the audience. The Wild West detours provide the chance for Westworld-style action sequences, as well as an excellent comic supporting turn from Susan Park as Peggy’s co-worker Tammy. The Cellar quickly became a staple of New York City’s budding comedy scene: Its early roster of comedians included Andy Kaufman and Robin Williams. The Cellar, as insiders call it, discovered Dave Chapelle, Ray Romano, Jon Stewart, Dave Atell, Amy Schumer and Chris Rock. The Cellar was founded in 1982 by then-standup comedian Bill Grundfest, at the start of a decade that saw standup comedy on a major upswing.

#THE COMEDY CELLAR SERIES#
But Arquette is well cast, and her charisma propels the series through its changes of tone. If you are looking for a calm, measured drama, High Desert is not for you. (When Dianne calls Peggy, the ringtone is the Ride of the Valkyries.) She pursues her new career at the same time as trying to reconcile herself with her past, and a strait-laced sister Dianne (Christine Taylor) who wants to move on. She talks him into letting them work together, and they are drawn into a plot involving a creepy “Guru Bob” (Rupert Friend enjoying himself), some gangsters and a possible Picasso. She is working in a Wild West theme park when she meets a down-on-his-luck private investigator, Bruce (Brad Garrett). Peggy is an addict, by turns charming and erratic, who is trying to move on from her days as a criminal and the death of her mother. Patricia Arquette stars as Peggy, a woman with a troubled past who becomes an improbable PI. Now there is High Desert (Apple TV+), a comedy-drama-thriller set in the sun-baked plains of southern California. On the BBC there is also the excellent new series Black Ops, but it feels like a peculiarly streamerish phenomenon – an attempt to be all things to all viewers, or at least not to put anyone off in principle. Drathrilcom? Comthrildrammer? The leading example is probably Barry, Bill Hader's comedy-drama-thriller about a hitman-actor, whose fourth and final series began on Sky Comedy last month. There is a surging new genre which I don't think has a good name yet: the half-hour comedy-drama-thriller.
