Jason Bateman had some hilarious moments. He's amazing at improv. Maya Rudolph was awkward and clunky, and just kind of overacting for comedic effect, but wasn't able to pull it off, in my opinion. I don't think that she and Jason Bateman play well off of each other, at least when it comes to improv comedy. I would like to see the original series, which I have not. I think that having three detectives working on solving the case also sort of makes it weird and not funny. And why does the last guy (Pete Davidson) arrive so late in the investigation? He was not at ALL funny, by the way. There are pieces missing since different characters arrived at different times, which would have made it impossible for them to solve the case, anyway.
