As has been the case for the entire season, the deadpan humour of the protagonist saves what's otherwise a painfully generic series. The latter quality is definitely part and parcel of the concept, and the comedy elements are very much designed to contrast with the blandness. That deliberate construction isn't clever or deep enough to carry an entire season, though, which becomes painfully clear here at the end, when the comedy for the most part takes the backseat to the grand finale of the anemic adventure and tying up what passes for character arcs. The few comedic interludes recall the strength of the season up to this point, but that only makes the finale feel like more of a missed opportunity.
