One Mississippi's pace and tone are casual and languid, but it's also similarly personal and surprisingly intimate. Tig has an openness that not only makes her an exceedingly likable presence, but one that feels truly knowable.

Like Notaro's stand-up, One Mississippi leads with the tragedy-but it's the way it guides viewers through that tragedy that makes it memorable.

It is the most enjoyable voyage into misery and despair you are likely to see this year. The comedic flourishes and talented cast, led by Tig Notaro, make this experience completely worth the tears.

A back-to-back binge of Notaro's Netflix doc and genius standup will produce a funnier, more emotionally resonant picture of the comedian's fascinating backstory than anything in the first few inconsistent and drab episodes of One Mississippi.

Mississippi... may not trend right away, but it's an example of how popular fare can inspire you to go off the main thoroughfare and discover some delightful, often neglected, treasures.
