I wonder if we’ll look back on this as when Community got experimental. Not to say the show has ever been the modicum of normalcy, but still, it feels like on Yahoo, away from network restraints, Dan Harmon is going to even stranger, riskier places. It doesn’t always work, but if any pre-existing sitcom was going to do it, it should be this one.
That scene where Willy (Brian Van Holt) took his first class with Jeff was weird - and I admired it for getting weird! As Willy revealed he was a murderer, it got legitimately dark and off-putting, and I don’t think that’s accidental. Is it for everyone, including all Community fans? Probably not. But I’m intrigued by the willingness to go there.
