I almost didn't watch this show. My friend told me it was a "somewhat less serious" take on a spy show. I wasn't interested, then he made me watch the sales speech that Leslie gives in ep2 that was chock full of all the hacked-together engineering jargon (possibly my favorite running joke ever in a TV show) I'm up to episode 9 now after binging all week, and I'll say I've never enjoyed a show front-to-back as much as this one. Sure, there are better shows - funnier shows, better writing, etc - but something about this one gets me. It's like a mashup of Wes Anderson and the Cohen Brothers. I have cried laughing at this show virtually every episode John gaslighting Steven/Eugene, closing his laptop, the PTSD Cop, Calling the dog on the phone and the consistency of the running jokes like John's 10-digit social security number, the Roshambo'ing, and Cool Rick's tracksuits. John's made-up folk songs were amazing too and I'm kinda sad they aren't in every episode.
