Unstable is Rob Lowe's latest TV effort, given it looks as though 9-1-1: Lonestar is set to wrap up with season five. There is loads of gossip and rumours next month's season is the swan song with key characters all leaving.
Anyway to the second season of this workplace comedy series, starringLowe along with his real life son (not like TK in 9-1-1) John Owen Lowe.
Season one was an easy watch back in March last year. The second season which was released only last week.
In the father-son comedy, the story continues of the socially shy son Jackson (John Owen Lowe) working with his eccentric father Ellis (Rob Lowe). However is the comedy missing the main tell, tale sign of a good comedy? Laughs? See below.
This is criminally not funny. Following Loot and the soon to return Shrinking (both on Apple TV+) which are wonderful (sort of) workplace comedies with great characters and heaps of laughs. This lacks likeable characters and laughs.
I kept wondering why Netflix decided to give this more episodes. Cause it's just super average. It has sweet moments, just no funny moments.
It ends with Lowe senior taking his career down a whole new path. It would make for a very different third season, however in a post strike world is average TV getting renewed? I notice Netflix have still not announced if fellow average comedy Girls 5Eva will return, while giving Heartbreak High a third and final season after a fairly lacklustre second run.
I am banking on possibly one more and done for Unstable or this getting quietly cancelled. Sadly it's just not that funny.
