Storyline
Featured review
Show is 8/10, this episode is not
I gave this a 1/10 to make a point. While I'd usually rate these episodes between a 7 and an 8 out of 10, I was really not enjoying the cartoon flavor added in this espisode where Todd is imagining various bribe scenarios, each one depicted with a cartoon scenario.
So Help Me Todd is already borderline frantic, which moves it forward and gives a strong comedic element, but this use of cartoons interjected is just wrong, it doesn't work, isn't fun, and just goes too far.
As I re-watched many of the first season episodes for a second time, I'm noticing that the essential gags of the story don't run deep. Many shows I watch for a second time have all kinds of things for me to re-discover or newly pay attention to, there's a richness to the story that invites an appreciated 2d watch.
Not so with this series, the mother/son/family/firm dynamics work, it's a lot of fun to watch, but it's all surface humor.
