Oddballs Season 2 Episode 4 review

While season 2 has eight episodes, this easily has become my least favorite episode of the season so far. The jokes didn’t really land for me, the concept was surprisingly boring, and overall, it almost felt a filler episode.

I felt that season 2 was starting out really strong, but hit a brick wall with this one. It’s wacky enough with the usual misinterpretations that only happen on a show like Oddballs, but I felt myself ending the episode with a little confusion and hoping that episode 5 will be a lot better.

It wasn’t terrible by any means, I’m sure some viewers will have found it funny and amusing, but it just wasn’t for me.
