So I hate being this guy, but this show was good for a while, then it just flopped.
The beginning of the season was a lighthearted mystery a week show with a strong core cast and great chemistry between the leads. The characters were all very competent in their own way, and it was fun to watch. Cheesy jokes, cheesier monsters, but fun. I was really looking forward to watching it come together and seeing where it went.
Then the change... an incompetent jerk just suddenly comes in and becomes the boss, and then it's an awkward workplace sitcom just like the rest of them. It stopped being fun and just got kind of uncomfortable to watch, if that makes sense. The organization went from super secret underground agency to a joke department no one took seriously, and it dropped all of the interesting storylines in favor of characters who only exist to be weird and cringey. I want them to make me laugh, not make me feel embarrassed for them.
It wasn't going to win an Emmy, but it was fun. It was different, it was goofy, it had a lot of potential.
Seriously though, if I wanted to watch The Office I would, god knows there's enough of it.
