I found the characters cliched and underdeveloped. Quite honestly, it feels like some old dude discovered TikTok over the summer and is trying to cram in trendy speaking patterns and linguistics into what is meant to be an organic a piece of art/entertainment. It feels forced or fake to me. What made season one great was the natural way the characters and plot unfolded. Season two has all the hallmarks of a sequel. The characters are not as subtle and likable as season one. I'm sure I'll get hate for this but it's my honest feeling as a fan. The popularity of the show may have made this season predictable and bloated. I can almost hear the Hollywood agents rushing to book their best clients on the show for maximal clout. I'm not giving up hope just yet. If for nothing else, I will keep watching for Jennifer Coolidge and her top tier comedic character work.

The people that 10-star this series just love Paul Rudd. Which is fine, but lets not pretend this is a well written, acted or directed series. It is dull and full of ah-shucks moments from Rudd. Could have easily just been Melissa McCarthy and her husband. Same type of boring 'comedy.' Laugh because they cue you to laugh, little lemming.

I guess the writers don't understand that Zippos have refillable tanks and replaceable wicks. This can serve as a metaphor that can be applied to all aspects of this horrible script. It's as if the filmmakers haven't had any life real experience. Like a child wrote the script imagining what he thinks being an adult is like.
