Man, I thought that The Comedian was a terrible season opener! But this one is even worse. MEET IN THE MIDDLE stars the usually reliable Jimmy Simpson as an odd, lonely single introvert who can't seem to meet the right woman. On a date, he starts hearing a woman's voice in his head and they begin to connect. Thus, Simpson spends the entire episode talking to this woman that's in his head in public places and it is painful to watch! I just kept thinking this guy is making a fool of himself in public and the cringe was so bad, I had to stop this episode several times just to get through it. And the woman talking to him in his head was SO uninteresting. The actress said her lines with zero emotion and I was like how is this guy even falling for her? The episode was just a chore to get through. It barely even felt like a Twilight Zone episode, which even some of the weakest ones from the first season managed to do. I think it's time for me to check out the TZ reboots from the 80s and 00s, because whatever this crap Jordan Peele is doing now just isn't working.
