The Drug Icebreaker Episode

[TheFearmakers · 7/10 · 22 November 2022]

Easy Rider to Breaking Club and in-between that 9 to 5 had the pot-smoking, icebreaking sequence where the characters are finally able to share depth and so here it is again, this time with mushrooms, and people acting more like they're tipsy on wine...

The show's last season has improved since the convoluted first episode as there are a few more things of urgent, suspenseful value, in particular the bird thing that was smashed over the head of Marsden 1...

Now Marsden 2 has something to hide, the same thing that. Linda C. Was hiding initially... Meanwhile with the cop lady as now equally jokey and sarcastic as the rest of the cast, it's hard to feel like something's gonna give at any moment, like the first two seasons, especially the first, still the best...

The only character that really ups the ante of the internet era Laverne and Shirley is the male cop as he's at least dead serious and after the truth being hidden, which is what the entire season was built around, not just two friends hanging out.

Disappointing episode

[yerlo · 27 November 2022]

This is the first one I really really really didn't enjoy. Most of it is getting high, promoting drugs and getting high, and inviting a teenage to help himself to Judy's edible pot goodies and getting high. Really? The writers couldn't find anything interesting that forwards the story line and delivers a few plot twists? Nothing at all? Then there is Judy's "alternate" excessive love life just killing time--my time I'll never get back. All the while, Jenn is bedding Ben in her house with kids present also just killing time. All so sleazy and not necessary. We call this "filler" like when there is something called "food" but mostly it's just non-nutritious filler. Like that. Nothing is redeeming about this episode, not even the 3 second "discovery" by the black officer--like we couldn't see that from a mile away. This show better pick up and deliver like it used to. PS We know exactly how this show will end because every one of these shows/movies with dying lead actors end this one way. So boooooorrrrrrring.

Episode 306

Well, it was not as bad as some other episodes this season, but the show is really lagging on and dragging to the finish line. The leads are still delivering and still giving us the offbeat comedy we have expected, but I just don't know how they thought they had enough material to do this final season when it is simply not there.

This was a good show for Netflix for its first two seasons and I am glad it got a final season to say goodbye, but this is kind of hurting the legacy of it at this point. When you have a half hour run time and only 3 to 4 laughs that is just not enough in today's day and age.
