I've already forgotten the details of the finale of the first season, but I got the feeling that they didn't show us much. Anyway, from what the characters discussed, we clearly didn't see everything.
@Nog: yes, the events of the previous season were stupidly merged, there were two destroyed bases on the Moon with a lot of astronauts at the end, a space race between the USA, China and Russia, and even a monkey in space, and in the second season the astronauts were returned to Earth behind the scenes, and they forgot about the Russians and the monkey at all. The first season was an excellent theater of the absurd and in the end there was a good tie for an interplanetary second season, but instead everything was transferred to the standard rails for the series of relationships between colleagues and dad and daughter.
Moreover, if in the surroundings of the satirical space race all the characters, their behavior and in general everything that was happening looked funny, then the second season did not catch on at all.
touched by the ending of the episode! Every time I 'm surprised at Steve Carell — how versatile he is an actor and how nice it is to see him on screen every time
It seems that the ratings are not very good, and the call at the end of the first season for filming was leaked at a higher price. Well, according to the first episode of the second season, we can say that it is not in vain. So far, it's average, but watchable.
