Spy x Family - I've already mentally dropped this. It's like they came up with the premise, a la sitcom, and are just seeing where it goes. They've had 1 episode this season where I would say it advanced the story. I'm not sure why it's so high in the weekly ranking.

I don't watch it, but it became so explosively popular in its first season that even if it is mediocre for a stretch, there is so much captive audience there already. So many shows start out with an interesting premise and a good opening arc or two and then just seem to not really know what to do with themselves after that.

Like Sword Art Online. :D

Spy x Family is a slice of life comedy that happens to have a main plot. If you're not in it for the comedic misunderstandings and emotional warm fuzzies then it's just not for you.

I already mentally checked out in the 2nd part of season 1, similar reason as you. Haven't bothered to pick up season 2
