If it were any other show this would be a fantastic return. But it had a sort of “We’re back after hiatus and trying to find our bearings” blow off feel to it despite getting in some good gags. IMO, Curb’s latest went better with the whole Fatwa thing. Then again, it’s sort of difficult to fault them for this after 12 seasons of very fresh and unique feeling episodes.
That’s just my opinion, it otherwise got decent great reviews.
EDIT:
Episode 2 - eh? I felt this one could have been better from a plot and conceptual standpoint. The jokes and bits were good, but it all felt like it didn't fit together correctly (IMO). I feel like the Jurassic Park references and the "I don't think America could have spoken louder that we don't want a woman running things than our last election." joke, while funny, seemed like it was wasted in this episode - even though the theme was "men are better." The episode felt like filler, and like the first of the season, I'd say one of the lowest ranking of the entire series. Again, not bad for any other show except this one. It feels like they're pulling their punches.
"Uh-uh-uh! You didn't say the safe word."
"...clever girl!"
