Very disappointing effort. Chemistry between Theroux and George is NIL, and Theroux's character is thoroughly unlikable. It's just not interesting to watch the entire family be constantly in peril knowing that they'll be some unimaginativeVery disappointing effort. Chemistry between Theroux and George is NIL, and Theroux's character is thoroughly unlikable. It's just not interesting to watch the entire family be constantly in peril knowing that they'll be some unimaginative plot twist to miraculously bail them out.

8/5. Excellent first season. A gripping and suspenseful mystery. The second is much worse. A slower action, a boring story with threads added forcibly.
