What a shame that Gil Mayo only got one season! I honestly don't understand what is going on in the minds of TV execs most of the time. Here, you get a light, funny mystery with wonderful brain-teasers--a nice break from darker, moodier fare. I love the attention to detail that the writers put into every character. Gil is a lovable trivia-nut who is addicted to buying junk on the internet. Alex is warm, intelligent, and acts as the perfect foil to Mayo. She spars with Gil and matches him beat for beat. Kite is a lovable goof-ball with an--unfortunate--sense of fashion, Yet underneath, is a razor intellect and delightfully mad observations about the world. Anorak is the perfect compliment to his character. I would have been so happy to stay in this world and learn more about these characters for years to come. The writing is excellent--possibly some of the best I've seen. I loved wacky supporting characters and regional accents. A ton of laugh-out-loud moments. Just such a wonderful show. Treat yourself.
