Synopsis
Baskets (2016) is an FX comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Chip Baskets dreams of becoming a serious French clown. He even attended a Paris academy — though he never managed to learn French — and now he's back in dusty Bakersfield, California, where mime is not exactly in demand.
So Chip takes the only clowning job around: getting trampled by bulls at the local rodeo. His mother can't fathom what he's doing with his life, his deadpan insurance-agent friend Martha is his one real ally, and his slick twin brother Dale never misses a chance to needle him. Zach Galifianakis plays both brothers, and Louie Anderson plays their mother Christine — a performance that won him an Emmy.
This is comedy of the quiet, aching kind, closer to sad indie cinema than a laugh-track sitcom. The jokes land as winces and small heartbreaks more than belly laughs. If you have a soft spot for odd, fragile, fully human misfits, Chip is your guy. Stream every episode of Baskets online on iFILM.
