They are given absurd amounts of power to “ensure the character of the neighborhood“ in the US, up to and including being able to fine you for infractions, have you imprisoned or evicted for not paying said fines, and even seize your home and sell it out from under you to recoup the cost of the fines. Most don’t have this leeway but too many do.

Only 20 minutes long due to no commercials, I guess... I mean, there may be YouTube ads, but I wouldn't know...

She had another show previously that ran for 1 or 2 seasons called The Mick which was hilarious. Wikipedia's summary: Mackenzie "Mickey" Molng, a tough, foul-mouthed con woman from a tough part of Rhode Island, finds herself in a complicated guardianship as she's stuck raising her high maintenance niece and nephews after her sister and her sister's husband go on the run for fraud and racketeering.
High Potential is comedy but less similar to IASIP, but still extremely well done. I quite enjoy the show.
And I had no idea we had an adaptation of Doc Martin! My dad's British and we would watch it when we'd visit him. The joke of "how many people can die/be murdered in one tiny hamlet." Would love to see our version of it!
It's quite a good show, but it does have its own style. I really rather enjoy it, though. I've been looking forward to the next episode because it's just the right amount of cozy and crazy comedy.

If you want a medical mystery/event show that's much more low stakes and cozy, Best Medicine is excellent as is the show it was adapted from, the UK show Doc Martin.

If you’ve got hundreds of dollars to throw at the problem and a Blu-ray player, buying the complete series on Blu-ray would probably do it.
If you’re willing to spend considerably less money, you can get an Amazon Prime subscription, I believe they’ve got the full series there as well.
If you want to stick with Netflix, check to see if you can download a better quality version of it and watch the downloaded playback.
If you have Hoopla from your local library, they might also carry it, but that’s rather doubtful.

But as it rolled along it got to be more like the other shows, and by the end I was sad about it ending.

I refuse to be excited about the show (personal reasons: I've been hype about things in the past and let down before, usually I prefer to go in neutral and be pleasantly surprised) but I'm just not far off from it.

That was part of why I had a hard time getting into SGU: the humor was a lot more subtle, but it was there by the end of season 2. But even SGU eventually became something I enjoyed over time. I just hope this new show doesn't take me 10 years to get around to watching.

Narry LinkI clipped out a little bit from most sections below, the stuff I found interesting at any rate. The whole article is worth a watch along with YouTube embeds of various things like interviews.I clipped out a little bit from most sections below, the stuff I found interesting at any rate.

The working title is “Stargate” … and that might end up being the title of the show.
Stargate‘s production designer is Nathan Crowley, who worked with Christopher Nolan on films from The Prestige and Batman Begins to Interstellar and Dunkirk. On television, he worked on the first season of HBO’s Westworld. In 2025 Crowley won the Academy Award for Wicked.
Along with him comes artist Phillis Lehmer, Crowley’s wife and long-time creative partner.
Stargate‘s VFX supervisor is Mohen Leo, whose credits with Industrial Light & Magic include Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Andor. Along with the announcement, Gero confirmed that ILM will be one of Stargate‘s visual effects partners.
Consulting producer Joseph Mallozzi is also writing an episode for the first season — currently at the outline stage. “I don’t know what I’m allowed to say about that, mostly for guild rules,” Gero said … “but yeah, he’s going to write a script. Absolutely. … Joe just sent me an outline, and it was just great.”
When the new series was announced last November, Gero assured fans that it is not rebooting the story but will stick to the universe that viewers came to love over more than 350 episodes of television. Now that vision is being worked out, practically, in the writers’ room — and it means taking the time to find the right solutions to pesky story problems.
Casting Has Begun
As scripts are written and production moves toward rolling cameras this fall, Gero confirms that the team has begun looking at actors for the show’s key roles.
“We are in the preliminary stages of casting,” he confirmed. “That stuff leaks very quick, for some reason. You’ll hear it as close to those deals getting done as possible.”
I skimmed the article and missed that, thanks for pointing it out. I wish we'd do something about HOA on a federal level, maybe force them to clear everything with HUD or something.
