The last three episodes were a MASSIVE upswing


John's acting was remarkably better, most of the jokes hit, and they're finally starting to find each character's niche. The way they handled Jane in particular is perfect. The shallow, sarcastic woman that serves as the man in the apartment, and I really liked her arc with Oscar trying to make her a more proper lady. That's exactly what they need to do with some of the other characters. I'm not sure about Motif yet, but I know that we need more Oscar and less Lou. Or at least give Lou a unique personality. Oscar has his schtick and it works. Lou is kind of like an overly obnoxious, comedian version of Jane, except Jane doesn't laugh at her own jokes like Lou. I did like in the new episode how they made him kind of the "Barney" of the group- passing on life lessons that are totally manipulative and demeaning. Actually that would make Lou a pretty good character if they kept with that kind of stuff. Him on his game show is when the most annoying.

Anyway that's just what I think. I hope this show stays on the air, it has loads of potential!

The show has been airing episodes out of order ever since episode 2. Some of the ones they filmed early ended up being shown over the last several weeks.

Then they must have aired the duds first and saved the best for last.
