At one point in the first episode, the "team" of main characters were securing the perimeter of a large piazza in Croatia and all I could think was that the villagers who were going about their business in that piazza would all be noticing and saying "What's that bunch of second rate actors doing running around the piazza?" The writing is abysmal, the acting even worse, and the locations look like maybe they kind of settled on the most European looking places they could find on Long Island.'

over the top acting makes the ridiculous situations even more absurd than they already are. If it were funny or even bizarre situations being dealt with by identifiable people it might work. But in this show the actors are all competing with each other to be crazier than the rest, and the result is a bunch of people bouncing off the walls, rolling their eyes, screeching and inducing winces in their desperate attempts to deal with really tired material. Maybe if there had been just one character who played it relatively straight, just tried to come across as a human being one might actually encounter, with the kinds of reactions a real human being might have, this might have worked, although most of the jokes are so tired and lame it still would have been a bad show, but maybe not the absolute disaster that it is.
