“The lead character is really fun and likable, makes me smile a lot. The guest characters (not sure what to call them) are really fun too. It’s a romp and an adventure.
But season 2 picks up a co-host who is the most horrible, boring type in that... that standard way people are boring. Sniping, constantly irritated, dishes it out but can’t take it. The archetype’s super common for some reason and it just turns the travelogue into a job. Or a series of mandatory quests. Takes that sense of adventure and just rips it out of the show. Everything’s “we have to do this” or “we have to do that”. It’s like adventuring with a bland office manager. That’s not an adventure!!! That’s work! Getting away from all that was supposed to be the heart of the show! Literally why Feston sold his stuff and bought a ship! WHAT HAPPENED!!?!”
