Easily the best episode so far. Nandor's second attempt to rescue Laszlo was hilarious! Jake McDorman absolutely killed it, hope we see him again.
[6.4/10] This one was fine enough, but one of the weaker episodes of the show so far. I like the idea of Nadja getting tired of Lazlo’s nonsense and trying to spend time with her former lover Jeff, but there just wasn’t much comic mileage from the setup. There’s some humorous distance between the conquering hero “Gregor” was in his past life and the burnout parking lot attendant he is now, but even when she gave him back his memories, there just weren’t a lot of laughs to be had. (Though I have to admit, I got a kick out of her description of the name “Jeff” as sounding like a “weak ejaculation”.)
The animal control part of the episode wasn’t much better. Colin Robinson continues to be a comic highlight, both for his tweaking Nandor over nightwalkers inability to go to brunch and for him being right in his element by having to fill out complicated forms at the animal shelter. Lazlo trying to bargain with other locked up animals was a little funny, since Matt Berry makes it work, but otherwise the shtick felt very broad and didn’t do much for me. Though I did appreciate Nadja solving the problem in about five minutes once called.
Overall, definitely a step down from prior outings.
The rescue attempt was just hillarious (plus Laszlo talking to the cats) but Nadja and Jeff/Gregor stole the entire episode tho
Did they predict COVID? Lol :rofl:
The character combos are perfect. Big fan of the film and they've managed to maintain the same type of humour I adored in it.
Great episode - poor Gregor wasn’t counting on that when he started work that evening.
Talk about headf:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:k for the poor guy.
I’d like to see Matt Berry freed up a bit more - he does overblown characters fantastically but he seems restrained in this series so far.

Lazslo is a treasure, but Nadja and Jeff/Gregor were the highlight of the episode. I hope the character is a recurring role for Jake McDorman. It would be cool seeing him again, perhaps being transported to a psychiatric hospital because he's going insane from knowing all his past lives.
