Dance Dance Resolution

This episode got so annoying amd repetitive, I felt I was in the bad place. Season 2 started off to a slow start it's hard to see how it will get any better. But since the ratings are good my curiosity prompts me to continue watching.

EP1 was a recap of S1. EP2 is a restatement of EP1. Is it just that ONE JOKE? It's getting worn and old. Also the pacing is off and the writing is getting a little bit lazier

OK. After the big revelation of what is actually happening in last season's finale, there where lots of ways this show could continue. The initial expectation might be for a Round 2 kind of season, similar in many ways with the first one.

But in this 3rd episode of the 2nd season the writers went for a totally new direction and ...that is a Good thing! So, this episode is successful in many ways.

First of all it is very entertaining. Quick, snappy montage, with nice rhythm. Second, it help the story to evolve to something else. fresh and new, multiplying the possibilities of what could happen next. It is even lighting a possibility for a real happy ending, when the series (after many episodes later, I hope) reaches its conclusion.

For those who had never watched "The hmm..Good place" I suggest you check it out.

I stand behind my original series review where I stated that this is a great comedy, and with some hidden messages. This episode shows that it evolves in a great way too. So a 10 out of 10 for this, and have in mind that I'm usually a though critic, especially in sitcoms.

.

But this episode is just plain funny. The montages were priceless (I was particularly amused by Michael's complaining and woe-is-me moment and the camera panning to reveal Eleanor sitting there in bafflement) and the episode even managed to pack in a lot of set-up for the rest of the season in 20 some-odd minutes. I'm rating it a 10, not because I think it's Godfather / Blade Runner / Casablanca level of cinema here, but because it was just a really fun episode to watch and it makes me smile just remembering some of the jokes. What more can you ask out of a 1/2 sitcom, really?

I realized that the show wasn't that special from the first episode but I decided to give it a go. Season 2 ruined everything and I couldn't even get through the second episode because it was way to repetitive, it was painful to watch. Hard pass after this one.
