So I've watched the first five episodes now, is it me or does the show improve a lot from episode 3? The first two episodes were okay, not really anything special but then the next three I really enjoyed. The jokes seem to land better, the plots feel more engaging and some of the visual comedy is great; Chip getting unexpectedly pulled through the door gap in episode 4 genuinely made me laugh out loud and that's not an easy feat. It's nice to see a modern show that isn't afraid to use cartoon physics.

I definitely like Merian best, but I like Francis a lot as well and I don't really dislike any of the characters. Pliny could maybe do with a bit more character, she seems the most generic right now but there's plenty of time for that to happen.
