With a hit TV series, a documentary about his parents, a WWII movie and 'Focker-in-Law' in the pipeline, Stiller, near 60, isn't slowing down: 'You only have so much time.'
I, too, have been heavily down voted for my opinions on this show (editor’s note: at the time I’ve typed out this response, the comment I’m responding too is considered controversial based on the vote ratio).
I don’t think you’re entirely wrong, depending on what you mean by “pretty much”.
If you consider season 1 and the first episode of season 2 (not even the full episode, just the parts that provide closure to season 1), then yes, the story could definitely have ended there. Perhaps with a few open questions and unresolved story arcs.
My biggest complaint is that the ending of season 1 really just came across as disrespectful to viewers, particularly in light of how long it was between seasons. Almost has the air of contempt to it. Shit happens, you can’t plan for everything, and even great shows get cancelled. Best of intentions don’t guarantee that a second season is coming, and that’s what they left people with for years.
Having said that, I’m glad that there is a second season, but personally, with such a long stretch between seasons and the fact that the second season didn’t really live up to my expectations after so long, I’m kinda meh on where things go from here or even if things go from here.

Maybe this coloured my opinion of it, but I watched them back-to-back. I didn’t experience that feeling of being disrespected by the wait. I just heard it was good, and watched what was available.
For the first season I felt like it was a really interesting concept, and I was excited to see how it developed. The second season just seemed like it’d lost its way to me, and they were drawing it out.
Meh. The first season was good, but I feel like it pretty much could’ve ended there. The second one felt kind of drawn out and dull to me.
The first season ended on a cliffhanger.
Do you also enjoy videos of people cutting cake asymmetrically?
I bet they also enjoy comments that
That what!? WHAT!? TELL ME, DAMN YOU! I must know before I can sleep tonight!
