Personally I’m not a big fan of the restructured concept
You take that back.
Can I skip season 1 and still know what’s going on? Also, will I like the second season if I didn’t like the first one? I watched a bit of season 1 and hated it for its slapstick comedy and pedestrian conflicts.
The show’s still on season 1 (finale is next week I think). But you could probably jump in midway through the season and not miss much. The slapstick comedy doesn’t really go away (though it is less prominent), but the conflicts are definitely much less pedestrian.
