Watching that fantastic opening scene in E2, and then reading about Hader's experiences directing the episodes this season and his classic cinema influences, I feel like this show could possibly allow us to watch Hader grow into a legitimately talented director.

E3 was more of a plot/character development episode, and it was still great. They're doing a remarkable job of balancing the comedy with the darkness, almost like a way less hammy Dexter. This might be my new favorite show.

It wasnt funny
It's definitely not hard comedy, more dramedy. I think I probably laugh louder than my wife does because I've got a long history of being tickled by Bill Hader.

The pilot was nothing to write home about visually, but E2 has an opening scene with a terrific sight gag, and the article I linked earlier does shed some light on some of Hader's other visual choices for E2. Again, it's nothing amazing, but having followed Hader very closely I can definitely see him starting to learn and apply some more creative visual flair.

I read your review and thought it was going to be amazing. What i found was really far away from that.
If you didn't respond to the pilot, then I doubt you'll change your mind...But I thought E2 was terrific and we often like the same stuff, so you may want to give it just one more shot before bailing for good.

Ill watch ep 2 for you buddy. I owe you that for sure.
Ha, you owe me nothing and I don't want to be responsible for 30 minutes of your life being wasted. Maybe try that opening scene and see if takes hold.

Gave the pilot a try last night. Something felt unintentionally off with the pacing early on in the episode, but by the end of it I was hooked...somehow. I'm interested in this show. Absurd premise with some interesting twists early on. I dig it.
