That's a good point. I also vastly enjoy season one more than two and I think it's because in S1 it was much more about his relationship with his son and his family and his focus on his career. The love interest angle always felt forced to me in S2. It reminded me when they gave the Perfect Strangers girlfriends and changed the vibe of the show. They were supposed to be undateable morons. Similarly Jay was supposed to be undateable for various other reasons.

Watched the first episode, it feels like this plot happens and that plot happens and look more plot happens and why should I care. I’m surprised it has good reviews so far.

Nothing really. It just sort of stands out compared to a lot of stuff today. It also stands out because there were barely any secondary non-white characters. Like I mean, there were a few, but idk statistically speaking it does seem weird that there so few in one of the most multicultural cities in the world. All I can remember are two girlfriends of Ross. One in the early seasons and one in the later seasons.

Several tweets saying there'd be uproar if that was broadcast today, and it's sadly true.
Mad to think that about that, of all O’Grady’s stuff.

To be fair, she opted out of being a regular on Two and a Half Men.
She could have made a ton of money, but wanted to do projects she felt passionate about.

I don't mind Mando taking a bit of a backseat to flesh out the mythology around them actually.

Most hated of all time, or most hated current one?

She's visited by at least one every episode - they help her solve a problem or point something out and sometimes she helps them get closure.

We should add some extra tax brackets. Right now it's 37% on anything over $539,900.

Shadow and Bone has some wank actors other than the crows.
I seriously don’t get how people rate Jessie Li, she can’t act for shit. Numbers don’t lie.

I haven't seen Superstore and it looks like Lauren Ash plays Lexie? I like the character of Lexie - she has just the right balance of out of touch and sympathetic

What alot of people forget is that, this show may not have been as funny as the Simpsons, but it was going up against the absolute best seasons of the Simpsons.
So, The Critic was still funnier than 98% of everything else on television at the time.

It's not really a success, it's a MASSIVE failure. His previous salary was $246 mil.
He'll be fired soon if he keeps this up.

The fact that it is one of the highest viewed shows on US TV was also likely a factor…

Probably my most hated TV executive. Which is a weird thing to have in the first place.

Reply to I rewatched Patriot (Amazon Prime Video), and enjoyed it even more the 2nd time round. by pm_me_reason_to_livx
So I gave both seasons a "9.3" but both aren't equal in the same way. Visually season 2 is more cinematic. I also like how the original music is used here much better (opening is much better too). But plot-wise the 1st season is stronger, as the 2nd season is a bit scattered and relies conveniences too often.
