Yeah, I agree that the writing is pretty lacking. There's very little sense of an overarching plot line even though I only watched season 1, and the humor is kinda hit and miss

It's not even that it's very episodic. It's that it reminds me of cartoons I was getting annoyed with when I was a kid (I'm 28) without knowing why. With the reason being that they were all very cookie-cutter, predictable, zero-stakes lowest-common-denominator shows as far as the writing went. And if you're making something like that in the 2020s and dressing it up as an homage, it should at least pick up the slack in most other aspects, and it very obviously doesn't.
