When evaluating each show based on its humour, Seinfeld is easily a better sitcom than Friends. Seinfeld and Friends are similar in many ways. If you haven’t seen either show, you may think they’re more or less the same. They both depict a group of friends hanging out in New York, finding themselves in zany situations. But as sitcoms, they couldn’t be less alike. I believe that the primary goal of a sitcom should be to make the viewer laugh.
OHIO by Stephen Markley is one of those rare reads that get into your DNA to reconfigure molecules so you are changed forever. Reading it is a nosedive into an unrelenting and intense universe full of hardship, pain, trauma, anger, and hints of love on the fringes. It’s a wildly remarkable debut novel, full of those sentences you underline, a plot you need to talk about, and characters who haunt you long after the last word. OHIO is singular. It is unprecedented.
