Genre overkill?

In the lede we have had the rather unwieldy description, "Baby Reindeer is a British psychological black comedy-drama thriller television miniseries". It rather reminds me of Flight of the Conchords' self-billing as "New Zealand's Fourth Most Popular Folk Parody Duo". I wonder if editors can agree on a more succinct and less awkward description. The two cited sources ( and ) lean heavily on "dark comedy" with a mention of it being a "horror series". To my mind, the psychological aspect is probably quite significant (needs a better citation) but the comedy-drama and thriller aspects are unnecessary detail and can be dropped.
