United We Fall at times feels like the writers were intent on having a joke-off, to the point that each character’s line is a punchline to another character’s joke.
Even shows like The Big Bang Theory and Everybody Loves Raymond had their serious story beats, which spaced out the laughs throughout the episodes.
I think the main issue is that this show is loaded with so many off-the-wall characters that there was no opportunity for real moments to break up the comedy or laugh track.
