The ringleaders of this psychological circus are creator and co-writer Patrick Somerville, who worked on The Leftovers, and Cary Joji Fukunaga, the True Detective season-one auteur who directs every episode of Maniac with understated but unmistakable verve. The fact that Somerville is responsible for this dramedy, based very loosely on a Norwegian series of the same name, makes sense.
The pitch for Maniac could very easily have been “Let’s make a series where nearly every episode is like the ‘International Assassin’ one from The Leftovers.” (Nick Cuse, who co-wrote that episode of The Leftovers, is also a writer and co-producer of Maniac.) But Maniac is more than an exercise in switcheroos of form and tone. It also considers the psychological barriers that prevent human beings from shedding their baggage, and the factors that bond two people to each other.
