The Take
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is not worth watching. It mistakes a compulsive liar's mounting disasters for clever comedy and never earns the laughs.
Original voice keeps the first season afloat, but the premise quickly collapses into sex, drugs, and humiliation as the only engines. By season two the rot is baked in.
The Verdict
The show signals status as edgy Britcom but delivers mostly secondhand career death for everyone involved. Side effects include dick jokes as plot armor and zero redemption for the central idiot.
Skip the spiral. Watch Arrested Development instead.
