    Still funny, but not as good and over the top as the first season.
    I had the feeling the writers were running out of ideas.
    However, finding out who those interrogators work for, was hilarious.
    Laura Benanti was funny as the chief interrogator.

    So, maybe not as good as the first season, still one of the best comedies on tv.

    Definitely not as good as the first season, and it continues to be a decent comedy. I just felt like the humor was much more forced with season than the last, not that the last was perfect. I will still continue to watch the new season though.

    [The] dissonance between classic family hijinks and twisted debauchery is exactly what makes The Detour such a fantastic ride.

    Remains as charming as ever. [24 Feb/3 Mar 2017, p.90]

    It might not feel all that fresh anymore, but in Jones and Bee’s hands The Detour is still miles ahead of most other half-hour comedies on TV.
