I’m enjoying it so far. This season seems more focused on the mystery than the lives of the leads. Oliver has an epiphany about his selfish nature, Charles ponders his mortality, and Mabel…nothing. That’s it. Which is for the better, I think. The Caccamelio brothers are hilarious.
Yeah, the whole “autopsy” thing of them playing around with a corpse they found, instead of actually calling the police, was too OTT for me.
Renee Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, and Logan Lerman were a lot of fun.
If you are looking for realism this might not be the show for you.
I did love Camila White’s line upon first entering Oliver’s apartment: “Isn’t this an absolutely appalling amount of everything!”
Maybe I have no taste but I actually liked his maximalist nonsense more than her monotone nonsense
Best line from episode 5: “That was the robot wasn’t it.”
The auto-tuned “Oh no!!!” before that was pretty hilarious too.
Episode 7 was fun. Plot holes galore of course, but who watches it for the plot anyway? The celebrity guessing game was hilarious, both sides ( “Who calls you ‘bunny face’ and why?” “Xi Jinping and that’s between us!”) . The farming couple mistaking Oliver for a dementia patient who had wandered away from his institution was priceless.
We’re still not clear whose finger it was. I am guessing it belonged to a chef from the hibachi restaurant who accidentally chopped off his own digit and mixed it in with the shrimp served. I speculate this because there really wasn’t a good reason to otherwise have a hibachi restaurant scene in an earlier episode.
Also amusing was the opening montage, in which there was an Algie in every window with the main three, as well as leaning against the tree watching Howard walk the robot.
