Unfortunately the comedic peaks the show meets are not matched by the consistency of the awful overly saccharine drama, the lazy philosophy dialogue, the poorly structured plot and the godawful pacing. It's hard to gauge the acting when the actors are stuck with such lousy dialogue. Occasionally the sets and practical effects are good (or at least fun to look at), they're best used to reinforce some of the better quality humour, but you can't get used to the high moments of the show when it rides so consistently low; watching two characters re enact the same drama episode to episode in the same house, the same office, the same yoghurt shop, whatever, gets quite tiresome. At least it's easy enough to binge and forget so if that's all you want in your life then have at it. Expand

The Character of Tahani becomes very annoying in later seasons. Kristen Bell's acting is overrated. Ted Danson is the reason for the 2 stars.
