The animated approach fit well with Tig Notaro's style, which is more about cerebral storytelling than over the top stage antics or exaggerated body language. The flow through different styles complimented the flow through different stories quite well. If you don't like Tig's stand up, or various styles of animation to begin with, maybe it isn't for you. I enjoyed it start to finish. Not the funniest thing I've ever seen, but solidly entertaining.
