Hosted by Irish character actor Brendan Gleeson, the second episode of SNL’s new season felt like a vast improvement from the premiere before descending into a collection of feeble and forgettable sketches.

4/5

Rather than focus on one exhausting aspect of what’s making the world awful right now, the show seems more interested in capturing what it feels like to be constantly awash in an orgy of awfulness.

Seeing Gleeson really do his own thing and charm us on his own terms was just utterly delightful, to the point where I’d consider it to be the highlight of the episode.

I don’t remember SNL doing as right by its newcomers as it’s doing so far this season. All four got a sketch to themselves in which they talked about how they’ve been advised to handle coming aboard the show.

Host Brendan Gleeson may have been slightly underused this week, but second-year cast member Sarah Sherman, and newbies Molly Kearney and Marcello Hernandez are already making immediate contributions in this better-than-average episode of SNL.

For their part, the show’s writers built sketches around Gleeson’s charms while navigating his obvious unease with live TV comedy... All the above being said, not a lot stood out this episode.
