Similarly, Two also finds the show continuing to accelerate its willingness to engage bolder, funnier ideas, which increase the hahas and help the relatively muted Becker become more satisfying with the genre’s inherent comedic requirement. This is welcome, especially when scripts are still able to balance these hahas in plots that reiterate the title character’s series-defining cynicism. Accordingly, I call Two a candidate for the series’ best — rivaled only by Three, which continues to up the show’s comedic ante but with less of the grit emanating from the abrasiveness of Becker’s characterization.
