We kept waiting for it to get better but it just kept getting worse. There were a LOT of plotholes, a lot of things that were never explained, and a lot of frustratingly unresolved threads. At the end, one of the characters says somethingWe kept waiting for it to get better but it just kept getting worse. There were a LOT of plotholes, a lot of things that were never explained, and a lot of frustratingly unresolved threads. At the end, one of the characters says something the writers clearly thought was really clever, and then smiles knowingly and walks away from the other character.

His female assistant is, of course, the brains. Add aBasically this is a re-imaging of the show where the titular character is a lazy, sad sack of a man. They invent reasons for him to wallow in self-pity and he's an idiot to boot. His female assistant is, of course, the brains. Add a obnoxiously choking amount of wokeness and you get this mess. I watched season 2 in the hopes they turned it around but they made Perry even more of a dullard.… Expand
