3''One Mississippi'' is a 2015-2017 series released on Creator/PrimeVideo, created by Creator/TigNotaro and Creator/DiabloCody, and starring Notaro.
4
5It's a semi-fictionalized account of Tig Notaro's life dealing with breast cancer, bilateral mastectomy, losing her mother in a freak accident, dealing with her widowed stepfather, and getting dumped by her girlfriend. Naturally, it also manages to be [[BlackComedy darkly comedic]] like the woman herself.

7!! This show provides examples of:

9%%* BigEater: Remy, Tig's older brother.
10* BlackComedy: Despite the ridiculous confluence of misfortune, Tig's dry wit manages to extract quite a bit of humor.
11%%* BrokenBird: Tig was molested as a child. To a lesser degree, her brother and father.
12* DeadpanSnarker: Tig might as well be the header image for this trope. Everything she does is deadpan, really.
13* MementoMacguffin: Explored in one episode with Bill, and the glassware from his wedding.
14* MoodWhiplash: And how. Visions of her dead mother are quickly followed by comic reactions to her stepfather's deeply entrenched routines.
