Adam Scott sells the hell out of it, but I’m not a big fan of how we’re only at episode two and they’re already Flanderizing his character.

In the pilot, he was nerdy but still in the realm of normal people. Here, he shows little to no understanding of social cues, is about 10 times nerdier than the pilot, etc.

I miss…

I would have LOVED it if Kevin was Kevin Girardi. And Amber Tamblyn popped up from time to time as Joan, full of the kind of knowledge and secrets that can only come from having a direct line to the Almighty.

Alternatively, I also would have loved it if it had been set in the same universe as “Reaper”.

Yes! If anything, the comparisons are unfair because “Harvey” is the pinnacle of invisible companion stories, and Elwood P. Dowd is, for my money, Jimmy Stewart’s greatest role.

Especially what is arguably his greatest performance.

What Christianity angle? It seemed vaguely deist, with a smattering of Babylonian Talmudism thrown in for texture. If there was anything New Testament-y in there, I missed it.

Yvette was originally Hispanic, but Cristela didn’t gel with the rest of the cast.

I kind of wish instead of a guardian angel, Metatron or some other messenger angel came down, gave Kevin his marching orders, and then disappeared again. It’s more interesting when flawed people have to figure out how to do better…

It blows me away how she was exactly right for “real” Eleanor, and now she’s exactly right for “underutilized,” attention-seeking Vicky.

I loved the cover of “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall” at the end of this episode. Perfect choice. The fact that Claire’s storyline is into the sixties now opens up a whole new range of musical possibilities.

It gives their love story breadth and scope, though, to spend time on the decades that passed in between and the events that transpired within them.

Yes, we know that they’re going to be reunited sooner or later. But they don’t. And seeing that journey is really interesting to me.

That should never be an issue with an animated series, though. They can record their lines in a studio anywhere they happen to be, and they can bang out three-four episodes in a matter of hours.

I didn’t, though everybody tells me I should.

The main thing that offsets that, for me, is the way the different iterations of the scenario reveal more facets about these characters.

And I would not be surprised if their memories of all the iterations get restored at some point.

I never understood the appeal of Kristen Bell until this show, but man does she carry it every single week. Everybody else is great, especially Ted Danson, but she pulls off a magnificent balancing act.

And they need to up Tiya Sircar to series regular already.

I’ll be 100 percent honest: Because of the crappy way this site functions now, I thought I was replying to a different article. When I realized my mistake and came to edit my reply, that was all I could muster.

At least they’re finally out of that fucking shitty apartment in New Orleans.

Meh.

I literally had to Google search the site to find this review.

This season might just topple the third season of “Parks & Recreation” as the most consistently great run of consecutive episodes I’ve ever encountered.

Is it just me, or is this entire site impossible to navigate now?
