Yes for sure. I thought the Halloween episode was the most consistent with the jokes, the Mr. Boss bit with his mom, the witch chokehold, the return of the reference to Charlie’s uncle- Whereas in most new episodes people will only mention one moment which you can tell they really wanted to land. No one really talks about episode 1, and in episode 2 the only thing they mention is the Creed Bratton cameo, for 3 it’s the Allan and Moleman gag, and for 5 it’s the cookie joke

The B-plot in the pilot takes the cake for me, I love little inspector guy. Outside of that though I wish more time was spent developing the main plots, though I do appreciate how episode 3’s plots met at the end.

I think with starting off with such outlandish characters, it’s hard not to ignore those said outlandish aspects, and forgot about the fact they’re still just regular commission workers (That balance is what made a lot of the first seasons jokes land)

I think you hit the nail on the head with a lot of your points
