Martin and Louisa are very much "better adjusted" to life and to their marriage compared to all the previous seasons I've watched. And virtually all of the comedy has gone -- as I've only watched this one episode I'm hoping it's an isolated mistake -- and that that's left seems so weak that's it's often impossible what lines are supposed to be funny. The acting is also so stilted, off-key or ambiguous that it must be the result of some disastrous new direction the show has taken. Who is Martin when he's being polite and considerate instead of impatient with everyone? And Louisa without her insecurities and her flirtatiousness ? Penhale used to make me laugh just looking at him -- no longer. Whatever whoever is doing, please stop it.
