Everything in the second episode is an improvement over the first


Yes. It was hard to get worse than the premiere. But I'm giving credit where it is due. Even the CGI and sets were better, despite being apparently the exact same sets used in the other episode. Crazy.

Of course, I could do without Monty's magic hacking and the lame "The IRT is coming to the rescue" voiceover as the map moves to this week's location for the benefit of the geographically illiterate (Can you imagine vanilla CM doing that? "Hundreds of Americans die in mass shootings every year. This week's on *beep* Ohio..."). Otherwise, I can say I was entertained this week. Finally. Way to go, CM:BB. See, it wasn't that hard. Just do good or even passable CM episodes and set them in a foreign country. And lock Messer in a room while the scripts are being written. That's the key to succeed.

I'm still waiting for the Indian user who thinks Hollywood hates his people, however.
