I'm a fan of Hank Azaria so it's good to see him anchor his own show. So far it's pretty freakin' hilarious (mostly because of his voice and character)

Hank is killing it, from the moment it started I was in. He totally channeled some VIn Scully with that open. Peta isn't too bad and I'm loving the kid, i'm really hoping this isn't being slept on.

They probably could have mined more out of Brockmire seeing his wife than whipping the crowd into a fight frenzy. Still some good stuff in the ep.

I should get up on the second. I'll admit I sometimes struggle with live action comedies that play as broadly as this one does but overall I like Azaria and the baseball-man stuff he says so I can mostly get past it. Also, as a barman and whiskey fan, I get a huge kick out of how prominent Sazerac Rye is in the smalltown Pennsylvania setting. I partly wonder if that influenced the move to New Orleans at all (Sazerac Company is based in New Orleans, though the whiskey is distilled in Kentucky).

I was initially caught off-guard by the shift in locale and direction in S2 but now I kind of marvel at where this show is at heading into the final episodes of season 4.
I never would have imagined this show now being set in a Verhoevenean near future.
What a ride this has been. It's never matched the hilarity of its first season but the show has been uniformly excellent throughout even as it has become one of the more accurate and pointed satires of our day.
