Review of Killing It

Killing It (2022– )
3/10
Big Quality Drop Between Seasons
25 August 2023
Watching season one of Killing It, I never laughed out loud, but I was sometimes amused by the on screen antics, and it was one of those painless shows you put on when you're in the mood for something light.

Season two dropped precipitously in quality. The relationship between the two leads seemed inorganic and forced, with the characters telling each other how they felt as opposed to demonstrating it. Worse, the comedy almost disappeared completely. On top of all that, the plot doesn't hang together well enough, even for what should be the admittedly low standards of a situation comedy.

One villainous character is almost amusing, as the actor performing the role chews on the role in what could have been a fun way, if the dialogue itself was any good.

In conclusion: Season 1 gets 6.5, but season 2 drops to 3 stars. Considering the overall trajectory, I don't think I'll bother with season 3.
