Without having seen the first. After Servant and the currently wonderful shrinking, Apple has created a real dud. I like Chris O'dowd a lot but he is really floundering in this one. The stories are nonsensical, all over the place and it lacks any charm, insight and wit. You feel it is trying to tell us something or give us answers and meaning and it really doesn't. It's confusing, souless and pointless and most certainly not funny. There's not much wrong with any of the perfomances but given the lack of substance, they all look they are trying way too hard. Three in and I can't see it getting another series. I guess the trouble with getting hits is they the fall into the habit of thinking theyhave a winning formula and sadly this one does not work in any shape or form. I won't be continuin with it and in fact, turned the last one off ten minutes in.
