Who wrote/read this script and approved it?! It has ploughed past implausible and galavanted right into absolutely ludicrous. I mean, the fire breathing dragon that Bode had to slay?! I rolled my eyes so hard I would have fallen over if I wasn't already on the couch.
I liked Fire Country in the beginning but it has morphed into something else which I am starting to struggle with. Please please, go back to the real storylines and bin all this melodramatic idiocy!

Tonally extremely different to the original movie as they aim to increase the comedic moments. Very weak plot which seemed to rely on paper thin character links.
Terrible oversights with character continuity for the actual accountant. He sounded and looked different - his wardrobe was actually that of Forrest Gump and they even mentioned that as a reference at one point. He doesn't seem to be working in the same way now, and just messing about with dating algorithms for laughs now?! Even if you buy into him making 9 years of effort to integrate, it just seemed too different and ultimately fans of the first movie are coming back for more of the same so development must be within some bounds, otherwise he is just a different character.
I was really upset that they turned his "Solomon Grundy" stim/soothe into a joke and then had him use it in absolutely the wrong moment - more like a punch/tag line. His father's routine over overstimulation that dominated the original to help him cope with the world was completely absent - nothing really seemed to trigger him this time at all.
Would go so far as to say that Jon Bernthal was absolutely wasted and his character was made to look like an idiot rather than a dangerous and whimsical guy.
Agent Medina was a bit of an afterthought who got in the way. Little character development and it seemed like she was just there to remind us all how "off book" the accountant and his brother are.
Honestly this was a terrible follow up to the first movie and we came home and immediately put on the original to try and wash away the mess that was this sequel. It was such an opportunity to really do something cool with the concept, and it was absolutely wasted.

These novelty episodes with terrible camera work need to stop.
At least once an episode I seem to say "this is so stupid" and this episode had me saying it several times. Virtually nothing happened except a hammy honeymoon plot... who takes so many cameras away with them anyway?
I genuinely wish they would kill Bailey off; she is so unrealistic, over hyped (while being totally puny and tiny - genuinely don't think she would pass as a firefighter EMT physically) and Jenna Dewan's portrayal is wooden and there's literally no chemistry with Nathan Fillion at all. John Nolan also has to be the most cursed character on TV... his career has been one disaster after the next! Even John McClane wasn't this unlucky!
I would definitely be down for an Angela/Nyla spin off though. They are awesome.
