That香蕉视频直播檚 how Netflix describes its hit series, . It香蕉视频直播檚 definitely not a comedy 香蕉视频直播� unless you happen to be Charlie Ross.

When something takes itself that seriously, it香蕉视频直播檚 ripe for parody, according to Ross, who has created a one-man, one-hour version of the series.

Everybody is doing their best to do a dramatic role in a show about kids that are living through something like a Stephen King/sci-fi novel, he said.

香蕉视频直播淚t lends itself so well (to parody),香蕉视频直播� said Ross, explaining that trying to lampoon comedy doesn香蕉视频直播檛 work. 香蕉视频直播淚t was already a comedy. You can香蕉视频直播檛 make something funnier than when it was already funny.香蕉视频直播�
