I have been a fan of Mr Bean but sadly as much as this series takes inspiration from Mr Bean, it has failed to capture his essence. Mr Bean was a selfish, naive, foolish, to-some-extent unlikeable but also a charming character to watch. You don't necessarily root for Mr Bean because he is a character you enjoy laughing at. Contrarily, watching Trevor makes me feel embarrassed and anxious, because he's a character with empathy, love, hopes and dreams - he reminds me of an ordinary man. He shows emotions that we all have, including remorse and guilt. It's almost hard to laugh at the comedy because it feels almost wrong to laugh at him. I actually primarily feel annoyed watching Trevor because it's frustrating to see how he allows himself to constantly messes everything up when he clearly knows his priority is his daughter. If he was a 'Mr Bean character' it would've been more fun to watch, as you know this man probably would have very shallow goals and values and would have no self-awareness about anything he did.
