Production
=Background=
Sedaris grew up in the 1960s and 1970s in Raleigh, North Carolina and learned to cook at a young age. She frequently watched local hospitality shows like WTVD's At Home with Peggy Mann and WRAL's The Bette Elliott Show. These shows inspired the initial concept of the show. Describing Mann's influence, Sedaris has said, "She would do cooking and crafting, and she would have local people on to talk about their businesses. It was very boring and I was obsessed with Peggy Mann. I liked the idea of pretending you had a show happening in your home."{{cite web|last=Koul|first=Scaachi|title=Amy Sedaris Is The Weirdo The World Needs Right Now|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/scaachikoul/amy-sedaris-is-the-weirdo-the-world-needs-right-now|work=BuzzFeed|date=November 28, 2017|access-date=December 10, 2017|archive-date=December 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210083917/https://www.buzzfeed.com/scaachikoul/amy-sedaris-is-the-weirdo-the-world-needs-right-now|url-status=live}} She also researched entertainers like Lawrence Welk and Dinah Shore, as well as vintage educational programs and public access shows, which served as inspiration for the specific tone and off-kilter sensibility of the series.{{cite magazine|last=Roberts|first=Soraya|title=Amy Sedaris's New Show Is the Anti-Goop|url=https://newrepublic.com/article/145711/amy-sedariss-new-show-anti-goop|magazine=New Republic|date=November 8, 2017|access-date=November 8, 2017|archive-date=November 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171108203056/https://newrepublic.com/article/145711/amy-sedariss-new-show-anti-goop|url-status=live}}

In a positive review, Verne Gay of Newsweek gave the first season three and a half stars out of four and commented, "Sedaris remains, as ever, hilarious, inventive, unbalanced and deeply, joyously, shamelessly twisted.
