Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After Emily’s boyfriend dumps her, she tries to get back into the dating scene… and ends up with a henchman. Meanwhile, Ron, Teddy, and Van try to arrange a meeting with Batman.

Our Take

The henchman premise had real promise, but the show plays it safe and wastes most of the comedic potential on obvious superhero jokes. The Batman subplot gets a few decent laughs, mostly from Ron and Teddy’s enthusiasm. A middling entry that coasts on charm when it should be sharper. Fine if you’re already watching, skippable if you’re not.
