Shield is a matrioska in a sense that you have three main levels: the team one, their stories that encompass all the seasons until the finale; a level below there's the villain of the season one, a guy whose criminal activities run through the season, and below you got the hit of the week one where you have all sorts of episodic stories

Halfway through the first season, I think it’s good. All the characters mug for the camera too much though. On Parks and Rec or the Office the POV character was the only one that stared straight to camera very often, on AE every main character seems to do it 2-3 times an episode. It’s the same joke so there are diminishing returns imo.

exactly and why I liked B99 so much. Yes there was Gina who was pretty bad but was really the only one of the cast that was bad. The rest of the cast were fun and enjoyable to watch. On AE most of the characters are either mean or so arrogant that the characters are unwatchable.

I don't even care if I get a laugh. Just make the characters watchable and enjoyable.

show designed to be the wholesomest wholesome thing, where every character is loveable. For hilariousness better seek in the past, actually funny sitcoms are dead

His chemistry with Jason Segel is amazing on this show. I've always really liked Jason Segel but never thought of him as a particularly great actor but this show definitely gives him the right material to really showcase his talents.

Yellowjackets is amazing and I highly recommend it. I can't wait until The Afterparty season 2! I loved season 1 so much. I constantly watch the dance/rap clip of 2 shots whenever I need a laugh.
