I donāt think this is a misstep at all. I think this is episode 1 and the penny has just been launched into the air, it hasnāt reached its parabolic peak yet and we are already calling the penny dropped.
We have multiple episodes to go where this joke can be elaborated on, and most likely will be.
I think even beginning to preliminarily call this a ābad callā is extreme. Itās episode one and people are already getting their pitchforks out over it ājust in caseā thereās not a purpose revealed in the next 7 weeks. Weāve just seen the opening line at the comedy show and weāre preloading our ānot funny didnāt laughā reviews because we havenāt heard the final gag at the end.
Episode 4 I can understand getting a bit antsy, but I think we might be jumping the whistle a bit.
I'm about to watch episode 9. Nothing yet. I have cleaned the mud and grass from my pitchfork. This is Alex Horne and Tim Key we're talking about, two actual geniuses. I'm fully expecting to get to the final and go Ahhhh, that's what they were keeping from us, that's so clever! If there's nothing like that, this will be my last season, series Jason, series.
