Review of The Detour

The Detour (2016–2019)
6/10
1st Season a 10 - 2nd Season a 2
9 April 2017
How can a show so creative and hilarious in the first season fly so high and then in the 2nd season make a complete crash landing? I do not know! One thing I'm sure of (in my opinion) the actors seemed bored with the script and plot so the producers and director threw in crazy physical antics to distract the viewer from a sinking show.

In season one the family's road trip offered surreal characters and an innocents with the characters reaction. Funny stuff! My favorite episode being the theme restaurant --- it's the best of the lot.

But season two comes across as aimless and going in too many directions. Jason Jones just can't pull off slap stick action. And everyone seemed too tired to create funny scenes. So I lowered my rate to a 6.
