The tone of “Rutherford Falls,” the Peacock comedy starring Ed Helms, is gentle and breezy, but the story — a small town faces its historical mistreatment of Native Americans — has deep, dark roots. Some of the early episodes reveal a show still trying to find the right balance between the tone and the story, but by the later half-hours, everything comes together nicely. The show is also historically significant, as a rare Native-themed comedy that features many Native actors and writers.
