Watched in 2022: TV Shows

Season 2

The first season was very good, poignant and refreshing with sharp dialogue, smart story arcs and characters, and didn't rely on dramatic cliches... all while enduring Reese Witherspoon's subpar acting.

The second season isn't bad but misses the high-set mark, the magic is lost... all while Witherspoon's subpar acting is still there.

Season 1

You can tell Tim Robinson wrote for SNL because he has a lot of funny skit ideas but has a tough time with ending them. At least his skits are shorter and feel like less of a letdown.

Season 4 (Final Season)

The first half of the final season is SOLID. Bravo to them making us wait several more weeks. I'm confident the wait will be worth it.

Season 1

Gervais does it again. He has created another very funny and touching show that is perhaps his best-crafted yet.

Season 2 (Final Season)

Season two was basically like season one, and both were short. Seems strange they even had two seasons. Anyway, it was the same, so just as funny and watchable. I really wish the show would have continued as I got really into the characters and wanted more.

Season 2

I finally got around to watching season two, three years after season one and it is a definite improvement. More clever, surreal, challanging, and thought provoking. Now I am actually impressed with the show and looking forward to season three, which comes out next month.

Limited Series

This season (or limited series?) is okay, but it feels more like a latter "Dexter" season. Not so witty, surprising, or entertaining. The quality of the production is up there and the overall story is worthy... but there was no good reason to keep Deb in the picture, too much of her. Dexter's son is annoying and seems like a weak idea to make him such a prominent figure... and then there is the final episode. Spoiler: It will likely upset most viewers, no matter how invested.
Oh, also, too many coincidences that took us out of it!
