The humor took a back seat as the creators opted for a more serious tone, and I must say, it paid off. While I can definitely relate to the absurdity of war and the frustration of mindless orders, I found myself losing some sympathy for Yossarian. The thought of having someone like him watching my back in a critical situation is a bit unsettling, to say the least.

The somber mood was palpable throughout, but the creators cleverly sprinkled in humor to lighten the load. The promotion of Sergeant Major Major Major Major to Major Major Major Major perfectly captured the absurdity of military bureaucracy.

Having read the book ages ago and watched the movie shortly after, I had my doubts about this series. But after diving into the pilot episode, I have to say, it held its own quite well. The depiction of bureaucracy as the same kind of menace in both peace and war hit home — it's a whole different kind of danger. The fall without permission and its consequences were priceless. The dialogue was simply hilarious.

I never thought I would say this, but the first season was a real surprise. The series is so unbelievably silly that it’s amazing what perfect satire and critique of contemporary society is hidden inside. No, seriously, I wasn’t expecting to give more than two stars, but I guess you can’t judge it by a few trailers and other people’s reviews. It’s true that there were quite a few logic holes, but who really cares about logic in this case. The search for the killer worked surprisingly well, I quite liked the humor, the frequent film references were a nice touch and the acting performances were surprisingly good. I also appreciated the funny tribute to Carrie Fisher.

Even in its final episode, the series maintains its simple vibe. You wouldn't necessarily expect profound thoughts from it, and yet the creators managed to slip them in here and there. This time around, it was particularly noticeable

The episode was packed with action, laughs, and a faster-paced storyline, signaling the season's climax. I particularly got a kick out of the Chanels' visit to Melanie and Wes's selfless sacrifice for the team.

The eleventh episode left me feeling a bit underwhelmed after the excitement of Thanksgiving. While there were a few highlights scattered throughout, the overall plot didn't quite hit the mark for me. And to top it off, Denise Hamphil's return felt like a step backward in the story.

I was pleasantly surprised when Thanksgiving at the Radwells' rolled around. From the Radwells to the KKT house, there was no shortage of amusement to be found.

In the ninth episode, the body count rose once more, but beyond that, nothing really grabbed my attention. It felt like a continuation of the previous episode, which left me wanting more. The second half of the season is losing momentum. Maybe a dose of humor could inject some life back into it.

Jamie Lee Curtis's portrayal of the bloody sport was undeniably entertaining, but the rest of the plot left me less enthralled. Maybe it's just me, but the ongoing investigation felt a bit lackluster. Aside from the mentioned fight scene, the story only perked up with the online death, and even that fell short for me. Plus, Denise Hemphill's character is starting to grate on me. While she's meant to be funny, her stereotypical antics are beginning to wear thin.
