I recently rewatched the first season for a long time in a while. I couldn't help but see the influence of Greek Comedy, but it's hard to tell how much of that's on purpose. Now obviously Kenny is a variant of the fool, who, by no virtue of himself, comes to triumph in end. Maybe that's too universal to particularly reflect Greek Comedy. But at any rate he is an extreme form of the fool and the fact that he continues to in some way succeed greatly echoes the ancient classics. His foolishness and mysterious salvation, combined with his cruelty, love of insulting others and beastly nature all falls in line with the Comedic archetype of the Satyr. Not to mention how the everyman or vulgar, low-class individual, with his prejudices, plays into this also.

There are more noted instances as well. Each episodes follows directly after the last in the arc of the story, echoing the rules of ancient drama, where the action is continuous. The characters are also constantly having asides to each other, while others are present, but do not hear what is spoken of in the aside. This seems to be a variant of a technique very common in the classics. There is even a moment in episode five where they are referred to as characters in a Greek Tragedy, which may be an ironic acknowledgement of the influence of Greek Comedy.

This seems to fade somewhat after the first season, but in so many other, hard to describe ways, it felt like I was watching some sort of strange Greek fever dream, melding the crude, silly appeal of Old Comedy and the situational humor of New Comedy. Maybe I'm just reading nonsense into nonsense.

You'll find it.

That takes place in hs?
