Wow, I thought I wasn’t gonna have anything to say this week.

I keep seeing ads for this although I don’t know where since I barely watch
CBS, must be on the Tubi. They keep talking about celebrities and I don’t
recognize anybody. Well here I finally get to see a list of names and… Yeah
there’s two people I’ve heard of and I think it would be stretching it
seriously to call any of them “celebrities”

I've only seen the first two episodes so far and I’ve been
disappointed, as it's no longer funny and even MORE time
is wasted on the supporting actress (among others) whose
storyline nobody gives a shit about.

Meanwhile, there are barely any interactions between the
Resident Alien and the kid, which were the funniest scenes
in S01.
