I can think of very few TV shows with the format of “Easy“. Each episode is stand-alone, with unique characters and situations. (Although a friend who has watched the entire series says some characters come back in later episodes.)
Essentially, it is the short story format applied to TV. You will see this in the world of speculative fiction, with TV shows like “Twilight Zone” and “The Outer Limits”, but I cannot think of ever having seen it outside of that genre.
The episodes are basically what I’d call “romantic comedy” or “dramatic”, mostly in the vein of something like a Woody Allen or Kevin Smith movie: Casual dialogue with slightly neurotic main characters, who deal with humorous situations that might come from living in a major city like New York or Chicago.
Sex is usually an important topic of most episodes, but some are about other things.
Overall, it’s well done in my opinion. I wish there was more stuff like this on TV.
