Slightly off-topic, but I remember reading how guests on I Think You Should Leave were always told that they were not to improv at all, that Tim Robinson was shooting for a very strange awkward sense of humor that guests just really were never able to stay within when improving. The only guest who ad-libbed and was allowed to? Bob Odenkirk, during the Diner Wink sketch, because he absolutely nailed the sense of humor required while going off the script.

Odenkirk managed to step out of the shadow of Breaking Bad in a big way. Good for him

I thought the first one was fine, a fairly average John Wick knockoff. Honestly, the best thing about it is that Odenkirk credited the training he did for the role for saving his life when he had a heart attack on the set of Better Call Saul.

I never watched the first one. I have it and have meant to watch it for awhile but just never got around to it. Which is weird because I think Odenkirk it a berkeleying legend.
