Poor Des got dumbed down


Why oh why did poor Des get dumbed down so badly from season 2 to 4. He was supposed to be the tech savvy genius who at the beginning was a banksy wanabe, however, now he's a useless stock character who gets repeatedly slapped, punched, burnt, electrocuted, drugged, shot, stabbed, maimed and double crossed.

I would empathise with the character but he just goes on like a complete moron now.

What is the point of Des?

reply

Comic relief.

But he is never funny.

I've found the solution, whenever Des speaks, I hit the mute button. The show is great again.

I just re-watched the First Episode... Des was about as bright as Cheese when we met him...

if anything he was given brains to be functional... then had them removed because he worked better as a comic relief character
