    Pretty dull

    This was not a particularly promising start. There are a few funny jokes (the Gob bit in the 'on the next' segment is funny and there is a nice joke involving George Michael and protestors at his company), but overall this episode is pretty dull. It is just focusing on the same dull storylines that have been going on since the Netflix revival like Fakeblock and The Rebel-Michael-George Mheiress love triangle, they've just gone on too long! Pretty dull overall.
