Precisely. It's not a funny show, for the most part. That episode in the first season where he's on a date in the diner and the teenagers threaten him? There wasn't a single thing in that episode that made me laugh - or made me comfortable for that matter - but it was still one of the best episodes of anything I've seen in a very, very long time.
It's really hard to recommend this amazing show to anybody. What would you even say? "This show is really funny about 15% of the time, and the rest of the time it makes you think about uncomfortable things"? That won't sell anybody on it.
