Series 2 was a struggle to get through. The first series wasn't anything to write home about but it was the first look at this set up and passed quick enough, but this series seemed to drag and overstayed its welcome by a country mile.
Paul Kaye's Psychiatrist hammered his point over and over in repetitive monotone monotony, Gervais wrote himself as the loveable Arseh0le again, delivering nasty lines but making it all ok cos he writes Sandy to smile at his lines so they must be ok, cos she gets the joke and knows he's really a nice guy under the relentless insults.
Really it was a tired and tiring experience. The off jokes really were just off, and not clever or edgy.
