Oh dear, I haven't watched the latest one yet. Sounds, yikes! A couple episodes ago when DH watched with me he asked why I said this was a comedy.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes, it was a pretty heavy episode. And the comic relief part was pretty cringey.
On the other hand — trying not to spoil — the last musical number was a brilliant reimagination of a very familiar song. Almost unrecognizable in a good way.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Agreed on all the above.
Certainly not a comedy. If I have thoughts on further episodes, I'll put them in Natter.

So I just realized, Max & Mo's restaurant is pretty much a slight updating of the restaurant that "the gang" tried to fix and drove out of business on Seinfeld

Finally watched the episode. I thought it was more amusing than some this season. It could be because the boss reminds me a lot of an old boss of mine. I was disappointed that there wasn't a big finale number with the whole group when Simon gave his news conference. I saw all the people and was excited for a big ensemble dance number. I like the characters, but mostly I am there for the song and dance!
I want to restaurant to get going because I feel it has lots of potential for stories, and lots of room for choreography.

Because I'm always behind when it comes to watching stuff, I started watching Schitt's Creek last week. My 100% shallow comment is: Eugene Levy can still GET IT.
I said what I said.

That's fair

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Checks out.

Steph, I just started watching it a couple of weeks ago. Your statement is valid.
I'm on Season 2 now.

I started season 2 last night! I'm maybe 6 episodes in.
