Kumo man.

Intermittently funny comedy about a socially awkward unemployed man in his late twenties, that seems to want to educate its audience on strokes and their aftermath, and on autism, but without quite finding the confidence to do it properly.

Told partly in flashbacks, partly looping around the story to reveal more details, this has the unfortunate effect of breaking up narrative flow unnecessarily. Similarly, plot lines appear and disappear without reaching their conclusion.

The whole autism storyline seems extraneous to the overall story, and reappears equally pointlessly in a closing scene. A burgeoning romance shows promise but fades away unconsummated. There is a running joke about where the lead's stroke took place, almost turning the story into a whodunnit, and occasional snippets of information about stroke survival rates but, sadly, the narrative feels too disjointed - a genuine shame, as the performances are always engaging and the characters likeable.
