Meh

I don't really like the dark bits in these prison episodes - too much real threat, shivs, violence, cannibalism, etc. But. Gina Gershon still features. So. It's worth it for her alone.

Great episode of the best season

These episodes are riddled with reviews with people criticizing a comedy for not being believable. This is not a realistic show, it's entertainment. Clearly. Get a life. I don't care that the prison you were in had individual showers. It was a vessel for a joke.

These two episodes stepped outside the box and were darker. The jokes were pretty similar but slightly raunchier. Drug use, violence, etc is a bigger subject than usual due to the environment but the usual tropes are still there. Couple laugh out loud moments. The format where the season opens with a multi episode storyline to set the tone for the season is great.

The Big House 2

Warning: Spoilers
The Tim Meadows character was a little bit better here, but I still think this show has never quite found the balance between goofy comedy and actual believable dialogue. Watching a sitcom you expect some outlandish things, but you should still try to present plausible stories, and I give this show credit for trying harder than most, but it just didn't work.

Jake would not get out of prison as quickly as he did, and from a storytelling perspective it is ridiculous that this has happened a second time on this show in two years. Don't send them to prison if you don't want to follow through.

More ignorance

Jake talking about shower time in prison being scary. They have individual showers in prison. No one showers together. Writers should do their research.

Tim Meadows was the best part of this series.
