Did anyone else watch this show? I was absolutely shocked at how much worse it was than Jury Duty. Most of the jokes felt so forced and unfunny, the “hero” was just kinda uninterested and uninvolved in the whole thing, it felt like they constantly had to push him to do anything interesting and it barely ever succeeded.

Interested to hear thoughts/opinions!

I haven’t finished watching the season yet, but it’s definitely not as good as season one. Company Retreat, the setting and the fate of the company, do not have the same gravitas as a court case. Rather than being unique, as season one was, this second season feels like a poor version of The Office (US). I understand it would’ve been difficult to pull off another Jury Duty without the “hero” realising what was going on, but I’m sure they could’ve come up with a more intense scenario than a company retreat.
