Committed is a half-hour crime comedy in the vein of Barry set in a Twin Peaks-esque town— but helmed by a woman protagonist. 

After losing her mother and a Grade-A Hollywood meltdown, celebrity actress, Ivy Collette, agrees to check herself in for "exhaustion" at psychiatric care resort. But on the road to recovery, her car breaks down in a one-stop-light town. Unrecognized by the zany townspeople, she assumes a false identity to perform the role of a lifetime: a detective sent to solve the real-life case of three missing girls.
