What happened? This show used to be dark, hilarious, and well written. This new season? Not so much It was apparent from the first episode, they were not following the quirky formula of the previous seasons. It is still well-acted, and Chris Rock is terrific, but the story is uninspired, and frankly, boring. It is simply just not Fargo-esque. I Could not connect with nor did I care about any of the characters. I could not for the life of me think of a reason to watch any more episodes when there are so many great shows out there.

Aside from the fact that it's very boring it is also not funny. Watching an adult adolescent break things and tear things up and poop in a swimming pool is just not humor to me. This show centers, so far, around two of the most annoying people ever. Watching them be socially awkward and delusional is a chore not an enjoyable experience. If I came upon either one of them and they were the only other person on earth I would just keep moving. I have to deal with people like this in real life now... I don't want to watch a TV show about them being the last people on earth. I find the possibility that their genetic material could actually be passed on to repopulate the entire human race the most frightening concept ever. It's one thing to have a character that you love to hate, it's another when you hate everybody on the show. Almost everybody I know watched the first episode. A fraction watched the second episode, and I don't know anybody except me who stuck it out for three episodes. Boring, slow, awkward, and annoying.

Awful, awful, awful! Maybe in the minority, but this is possibly the most painful "comedy" show I have watched in a while. It was cancelled and picked up by TBS. But it is still terrible.

I wanted to like this show... But like so many before it in this genre (Jericho, Revolution, Defiance, et al) it was a complete fail. Characters making irrational choices, forced uninspired and uninteresting crisis moments, trope after trope, one dimensional characters, HORRIBLE acting (even by historically good actors), poor CGI, and awful dialogue. The premise is the only potentially exciting aspect of the show. How do these writers, directors, and producers get their jobs? Have they ever watched Game of Thrones or Walking Dead to see how it SHOULD be done? They would have done better giving a first year film class the project. Waste of time. So sad-- it's my favorite genre.
