I tried this show and it seems unwatchable for the opposite reason of so many other shows.

Everything I write happened in Episode 1, I made it maybe 15 minutes into ep 2.

The mom is a retired captain in the military, now a physical therapist. She has been married to a guy who is the deputy director of MI6. She should know the lay of the land. That is not the case. She is just your average jealous woman you would find in any trailer park.

Mom has an old friend she knows works for the CIA. Friend hands her a spy pen to pick up conversations 10 meters away. Now mom can get to the bottom of secret conversations her husband (now MI6 head honcho) steps away to take on his secure phone.

Mom uses spy pen, never pausing a moment to think conversations of her MI6 head honcho husband might be with other heads of British State and the spy pen from the CIA just might be broadcasting, not just recording.

CIA friend is really dumb and gave her a spy pen that only records and does not broadcast to their operations van parked just outside.

Near as I can tell from 1 episode, the women are blindingly stupid in this one and defies as much logic as with any of these women beating up Russian trained agents. They might beat up trained Russian agents later on. I just didn't make it that far.

I kicked off episode 2 for maybe 15 minutes but turned it off, never to return. I wish writers could write women again.

This has popped up enough on Amazon suggestions and I always discard it. Saw a list on here of Shows of D&D and the next time I saw it, I selected it.

I watched about 5 episodes the first time playing it (they are all short) and found myself enjoying it much to my surprise. I really expected to drop it like I do midway through a latest installment of Jackazz.

The story themes are a lot like a session of D&D, not a bad thing. The banter is a lot like you find with a group of friends while playing DDO. The actors seemed to know each other quite well. Reading a bit more about it, they have been doing this together for years. It shows in a good way. There is a lot of creativity in the world of D&D so they won't lack for material. I expect this to be very good for a long time.

The bad: The quantity of "adult humor" is overboard. It comes of as "We're not a kid show, really!" Throw a bit in once in a while and it would be effective without desperation.

Mixed bag: The writing is good almost always but does rely on.worn tropes, which I was expecting so wasn't a problem. It just seems like it came from their sessions. The "bad guy" in the first couple episodes did trick me even if it seemed obvious after.

Overall it is a fun watch with quick episodes that keep you interested. I gave it a 6 when I first started writing this but bumped it to a 7 before clicking submit. As they refine things in future seasons it could become an 8 and a 7 for cartoons is high praise from me. I am on episode 2 of season 2.
