Well, each to their own, of course. However being predictable isnt always a bad thing. The show is about two British writers who go to America to work on their shows American remake. Don't you kind of already know what kind of things are gonna happen? American networks have been insulting their audience for long enough now that, in terms of a lot of the plot and event, the script almost writes itself.

Matt Le Blanc is, in my opinion, also supposed to be a little annoying. His character in the show does have his positive qualities but he's the big, Hollywood choice for the lead actor. He's meant to be a bit of a prima donna.
