There are times when it's hard to tell whether this episode is deliberately bad or just bad. It can't even be bothered to resolve the previous episode's cliffhanger, with Mel and Jada suddenly safe without any explanation. The B-plot that follows is just more of the same, with Niko dragged in to literally do nothing and more of Jada's anti-Elder rhetoric that Mel just falls for even when the consequences of Jada's vigilantism are staring her in the face.
The main plot is a story about a couple of macho 90s TV heroes being released into the real world. There are some good parts to this: the team-up of Macy and Harry, and Macy having spent years working out a better solution to an episode's plot. It manages to be fun and therefore avoid being offensive, but there's still a smug sense that the show considers itself superior to 90s attitudes which aren't really that accurately portrayed anyway.
Oh, and there's a C-plot about Maggie being upset that Parker won't have sex with her (yes, really), which incredibly manages to lead into another cliffhanger that has the audience confused rather than intrigued.
