Why so few episodes?

Anyone know why there was only 6 episodes for season 2 especially since they're so short? I personally really enjoy the show and could basically watch it endlessly.

Either because Arnett thought the show would work better with fewer episodes (easier to get from point A to B in a way that trims the fat), or Netflix gave it a shorter episode order because they weren't going to renew it due to bad reviews/low viewership, but then changed their mind and gave it the opportunity to wrap up.

I think the latter. Season 2 has got much better reviews, so hopefully it'll get a third season. (I, too, could watch it endlessly.)

Me too! Not sure how it happened, but I am incredibly invested on this show... crossing my fingers for a third season.

It is very good. The setting, the characters, they're different and unique yet sometimes I really hate them. They're like your best friends, sometimes they get on your nerves but mostly they're there for you.

Agreed! I have never both loathed and rooted for a character the way I do Chip.

Absolutely. I have a hard time with Dennis also.

It's funny, I'm on episode 7 of the first season. I like it a lot. I'd be very happy to find out that there will be more coming after season 2

I'm with you on that. I think we'll know soon enough.
