Great premise, great writing, great acting. And Irish accents -- how can you go wrong with Irish accents? The article compares this show to Ted Lasso and I can definitely see that. But FWIW I think it shares more of a pedigree with The Good Place.

It feels like every half hour on Apple is a riff on the Ted Lasso premise to a certain extent. Sad middle-aged man faces existential dread/some sort of crisis or trauma, everybody's quirky.

Nu uh. There was that one about a young boy who faced existential dread

It definitely has a strong philosophical undercurrent in it, so I'd agree it's closer to The Good Place in that regard.

It has a Ray Bradbury feel to it.

I was thinking like, if Stephen King decided to write a feel good comedy
