I like the show, it's got charm and the characters are cute and fun... But there is a lot of wasted time. The first two episodes could have been cut together in the same runtime and very little would have been lost. The whole test thing and setting up the society is needless fluff. The whole bike race story, more of the same.

It's mildly entertaining and competently filmed fluff... But it's still fluff. It's starting to feel like I am going to watch a 2 hour movie stretched out into a 5 hour show. I hope that's not the case, because this show has a lot going for it. Hopefully it starts going and starts putting out better paced episodes moving forward.

What an absolute snore of a movie. Stale jokes that you've seen a hundred times, it seems to want to have a campy energy, but is far too grounded to pull it off. The best part of the piece is Hugh Grant who seems to be in a different much better movie most of the time.

This continues a string of flops for Melissa McCarthy who seemed to be able to do no wrong a few years ago. Her on-screen chemistry with Seinfeld is terrible. McCarthy is mostly mugging for the camera, Seinfeld has a detached non-reaction to most things. There is no odd couple energy, it's just odd. Seinfeld seems to not understand how to give anyone direction, himself especially. Seinfeld can't seem to do anything but play himself, and in this case it's the blandest, and least engaged version of himself possible.

Its not terrible, there a couple of scenes where I chuckled. Beyond that I was more interested in my phone notifications than I was on the next scene in the movie.
