What the hell went wrong with Season 2?

Season 1 in the sixties was great, and when I heard the second season would take place in the eighties I was stoked. But...

Everyone yells their lines.

The writer and director are trying too hard to be funny.

The characters are incredibly off putting, especially Tucker. WTF happened? He was the standout in S01.

Using bad miniatures in the eighties makes no sense.

The story is stupid/confusing and the character motivations nonsensical.

Nudity in a comedy spoof seems gratuitous.

Two of the best characters aren't really in it: Pierre and Claire (ok, her head is)

Repetitive, especially the Jackson-Ilsa thing.

Jackson was the weakest link acting-wise in S01, and he's even worse here yet featured more.

I could go on. Honestly, I don't think I laughed once all season.

You are out of your mind.

Season 2 is far and away better than the first. That is mostly thanks to the endless and more interesting 80s references and nostalgia to borrow from. The 60s stuff was played out after 2 episodes.

I found much to like, especially towards the end of the series with the Power Rangers spoof and the Wolfenstein 3D - "god mode" puns, plus the secret bonus power-up room!!!

I agree with everything you said. Going to the 80s was a mistake and too much of a change. The only episode that made me laugh was Hitler playing the swastika shaped guitar.
