Anyone going into “Sprung” with no idea who created it will probably be able to determine within minutes that they’re watching a Greg Garcia joint.
Like many auteurs, Garcia has established a distinctive brand for himself thanks to his previous work on shows like “My Name is Earl” and “Raising Hope.” Garcia has a knack for helming comedies that don’t shy away from dramatic beats, have stories centered around a group of lovable misfits and, most importantly, make viewers laugh with and feel for its characters in equal measure.
“Sprung,” Garcia’s latest sitcom, premiered the initial two installments of its nine-episode first season Friday on Amazon Freevee. Production on that show took place throughout western Pennsylvania last summer and fall, and it also happens to mark a reunion between Garcia and “Raising Hope” stars Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton.
