ZoqFotPik April 28, 2017 Share April 28, 2017 I get that she was sleep deprived and wanted to get to her kids, but I really hated Robin in the first episode. Also, the I don't understand Spanish jokes got really old really fast. The second episode was better. Nice to see John Oliver. Was he wearing the flag of Bahrain on his uniform? I felt really bad for Vanessa, getting screwed by a father she doesn't know. Although she is presumably the witness turning State's evidence. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/41550-the-detour-general-discussion/page/2/#findComment-3223855

CletusMusashi June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 Somehow I missed season 3 entirely, so I just finally got to enjoy that. Just finished it up today. Which works out perfectly, as far as timing goes. Not only did I get to spend a day off catching up on a hilarious and unpredictable comedy, but I now have just the right amount of time to take a shower, grab some stuff at the hardware store, go to the bar, get drunk, and take some half price wings home before season 4 begins. I'm looking forward to it. I even like that they've split the band up a little. Nate and Robin are a their best when they're playing off each other, and Jeb's character is pretty much the designated "dumbest guy in the group," which probably precludes him from not being part of the group, but Delilah's character is ready to go out and make some of her own trouble. I trust the writers to make it interesting, and I trust the kid playing her to make it great. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/41550-the-detour-general-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5383364

CletusMusashi June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 I was surprised this week, and not in a good way. Although there were certainly some recognizable jokes, they were all written too broadly to actually be funny. I hope next week is better. Narrowing the entire show's focus down to just three characters, one of whom is Jareb, didn't help. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/41550-the-detour-general-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5387006

CletusMusashi June 28, 2019 Share June 28, 2019 I watched all of Season 3 through Hulu. As for the first two this season: If you don't catch the pilot you won't be missing much. Episode two is where the show finds itself again. I'm not sure where to stream that one, but if you miss the show again next week you can still record it the next day. The new episodes play twice on Tuesday night and then once more on Wednesday afternoon. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/41550-the-detour-general-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5406694

Besides, Delilah seems to be asking them to come find her despite her pleas to not search for her. Her constant updates on her status seemed more a weird attempt to make her dad keep up the search.

So, once again Robin hides something from her past and it comes back to bite them. Saw the switch coming as soon as Blue Jay was introduced. The twin switcharoo is such an over used trope. Also, I'm assuming Robin's Mother is Delilah's unseen benefactor from the last week. And, while I've never been there, isn't Ithaca less rednecky and more college towny?

CletusMusashi July 25, 2019 Share July 25, 2019 The game show schtick had a lot of funny components, especially the clown-job, but it was way over-extended. I'd rather watch twenty minutes of the characters acting like themselves than twenty minutes of "OMG, aren't Japanese games shows silly, LOL?" Yes, they are. But if I'd rather be watching a Japanese game show, I would watch a Japanese game show. A good counterpoint to how it was handled was the USPIS musical, which I would unquestionably rate as one of the funniest moments in the show's entire run. And all they did was go crazy with it for a few minutes and leave us wanting more. If they'd tried to make it a whole episode, that would probably have just been weird. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/41550-the-detour-general-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5474709
