The Season 2 premiere of So Help Me Todd titled “Iceland Was Rough” kicked off with a mixture of humor, drama, and tension as Todd and Margaret’s latest adventure took an unexpected turn. The episode’s title may imply a trip to Iceland, but instead, it serves as a metaphor for the challenges and rough patches the characters face, especially when it comes to their personal and professional lives.
In this episode, Todd is grappling with the fallout of previous choices while juggling his complex relationship with his mother, Margaret, whose sharp wit and determination remain at the heart of the show. The “Iceland” experience was more about the emotional distance between them and the tough terrain they must navigate to rebuild trust and cooperation.
Fans of the series enjoyed the return of the quirky yet lovable Todd, whose knack for getting into trouble while solving cases is on full display. However, some felt the pacing of the premiere was uneven, with moments of comedic brilliance balanced by scenes that felt rushed or overly dramatic.
Despite some rocky moments, the episode set up intriguing storylines for the rest of the season, particularly the evolving dynamic between Todd and Margaret. While “Iceland Was Rough” may not have been the smoothest premiere, it laid the groundwork for character growth and more hilarious escapades in future episodes. Fans are hopeful that the rest of the season will find its rhythm and deliver the charming, unpredictable fun they’ve come to expect from So Help Me Todd.
