I do enjoy Stewart Lee and have preferred this series to the first.
I think both he & the audience have had fun with him embracing his persona & the supposed critical reaction to it.
He has managed to get a lot of material out of his style & the way he's sometimes perceived.
He seems to be enjoying it & so am I.
I do like the "Audience/Viewer won't understand this" bits.
As well as the sublime keep a straight face stuff with Armando
