'Sitcom' has changed beyond recognition, if this prog is classed as one. It's another rambling meta dramedy with little episode shape or obvious cues for laughs imo.
Alma's Not Normal Page 7
Sophie Willan has been fairly open that Series 2 isn't particularly comedy and much more drama, I believe.

It shows - tad disappointed, but looking forward to seeing how it develops
Oddly I thought the first episode felt funnier and lighter than Series 1, or my memories thereof at least.
I think Sophie Willan is brilliant and so is Alma's Not Normal, but I can't help thinking it would have been much better as a 45 minute to an hour long per episode drama, because sitcom really doesn't feel right for a show that, while I do enjoy it, never makes me laugh.
I really want to enjoy this show but it's just boring
I forced myself to watch 3 episodes of Series 1 before I'd had enough
I managed three quarters of Episode 1 of Series 2
No story, no laughs .... empty show
Picking out landmarks I recognise from my home town is about the only interest I can muster
Most of the actual attempted comedy comes from laughing at the mentally ill ffs
Yeah let's take the piss out of the imbeciles in the nut house
Hilarious
