Portents, ominous videos, inexplicable phone calls, clues written on walls and objects all follow - and then in an alleyway shop of "beautiful things," Peter encounters Simone, and realizes there are others on the same adventure as he is.

Messages of curiosity and teamwork predominate, as quirky individuals looking for something team up to solve a mystery.Īrrestingly odd with a tender message about the value of human connection underneath, this one-of-a-kind series rewards patient viewers who don't mind a twisty narrative throughline. Characters are realistic and sympathetic, as well as diverse in terms of age, race, gender identity, and socioeconomic status. Violence is also infrequent, though in one scene a character walking home alone is set upon by a pair of men who she maces and kicks until they're lying on the ground.

Two characters share a genuine and slowly building attraction expect romantic complications, kissing, flirting. Though the themes of the show (the importance of connecting to other people and showing kindness) are somewhat mature and the show isn't always easy to follow, the amount of iffy content is relatively low. Parents need to know that Dispatches from Elsewhere is a surreal show about a group of people caught up in a mystery that may be a prank, a game, a conspiracy, or something else.
