Amnesia maybe? Has to be combined with an attack if so because he'd have to be stranded somewhere without ID.

I thought Miley did a good job. Her vocal range is microscopic, but she understands how to use the range she has and doesn't shoot for high notes. She's good for funky/r&b/soulful as long as it's a song where gravely works better than high notes. And considering the rotten fetid garbage her songs from her early career were, even her songwriting/arrangement is pretty good now. She was paired up with a far superior artist and didn't embarrass herself, at the very least.

I only saw clips (and only about 2/3 of them yet) but it wasn't great. I did like Eddie doing Tracy. Just him doing NORMAL Tracy was over the top (and that's actually what Tracy is like). Eddie only had to do him accurately, not exaggerated. I was fully expecting it to break Tracy... but was unsurprised it broke Leslie instead. The skit went to crap when it took too long with the "Black people don't know SNL" theme. Chris Rock (often funny) crapped the bed and didn't deliver at all on his portion.

I think the show still needs an overaching Season 2 serial plotline. But a better and more sustainable one than Season 1. Season 1s worked for about half the season. Season 2 has to start with that resolved, with her being honest with Olympia at least, and possibly the two of them (and possibly You Two) out of that firm. Maddy back to using her real name. And something new as a season long serial plot. If it's a twist plot it has to be either Olympia hiding something (not Maddy... so it would be a reversal) or the gang addressing an ongoing case with a twist that they'll have to work on all season. No more amateur Detective work for Maddy. Heck, even Andy Griffith Matlock used investigators.

I believe they're actually told whether to give the correct answer or not. And the jokes are written for them beforehand too, although if they're comedians they collaborate on them. There's definitely footage of Bruce Villanch (a former writer on a previous version of the show... the Whoopi Goldberg one) out there somewhere talking about this. I can't find a clip but remember one.

Center Square should NEVER not be a comedian (yes, Paul Lynde counted). It's not just about the most airtime. It's about the person getting that maximum airtime landing a joke every time.

I'll watch the first two next season and decide. This was mediocre enough in parts they'll have to retool and improve to get me.

Bridges (the seeming baddy) and Ritter (I guess... serving as Olympia 's love interest... he's not much of a mentor for Matty) could easily be replaced with other people in those positions. Olympia is essential. She's Matty's sounding board (even if she doesn't realize it), her initial main target (the role she's already shed) and mentor. She also gets the most subplots, even including Maddy, because the majority of what Matty does has to be centered around her mission. So she's treated like a protagonist almost as much as Matty. You Two are important mostly because cleaning house all at once on characters is a dangerous move with a hit show. But I'd also argue we've learned a great deal about both of them. You don't want to waste that character development.

I think she gets outted. I'm betting Season 2 is a reset. Olympia and "You Two" are the only essential people from the firm, IMO. So a Season 2 either at that firm (or not) are both possible as long as those three people are still main cast members (along with Matty, of course).

Telling us that it's out there PLUS indicating that it leaves you wondering where Season 2 goes DEFINITELY suggests she gets outted.

I'd say both probably could be discussed. Roy even guest hosted an episode of the British version.

To a large degree anyone who works at a firm like that gets vetted with a full background check. Which might explain the lack of security internally... but makes it even more ridiculous that a fictional person, "Madelyn Matlock" got hired in the first place. Usually there would be printers either right inside the lawyer's office, or at their assistant's desk, although not necessarily any real security when those people are away from their desks. But there'd also be a big difference between how legal documents are produced and how a mere email is printed. The legal docs would be saved in a document management system, and official copies used for filings would be printed centrally by a documents department. An email would just be routed to any old printer in or outside someone's office.

This could play out only a few ways. Jod himself could only majorly profit by selling the planet's location (a significant reward for the kids being returned is a pipe dream, especially after seeing how regimented that society is). We could have a moral crisis where he decides if he's going to do that. There could also be a plot with them accidentally leading pirates to the planet. Finally... the planet leadership could turn out to be overt heavies, trying to bury the whole thing once they return. At minimum wiping out Jod (and the kids may feel compelled to save him by that point). At maximum, wiping out anyone with detailed knowledge of outside (so the kids too, and possibly the parents).

If not human, she's a close human analogue, but besides her cybernetic enhancements, she's also got that white hair that suggests she could be something else, given that white hair is pretty rare (albeit not impossible) in actual young humans. That said, the previous character we know with cybernetic enhancements, Lobot, is clearly identified as human in Star Wars lore.
