      Michael: All I've ever really wanted was to know what it feels like to be human, and now we're going to do the most human thing of all: attempt something futile with a ton of unearned confidence and fail spectacularly!

    Chidi is just annoying
    A one joke character literally repeated 1000 times. The second season is just weak. I really want to like the season but it's pretty hard because it's a show about a show at this point. It's just recaps of itself recapping itself in an endless loop of the same joke over and over
