idk I like the curveballs on that show, how every season it becomes a totally different thing. I'd agree that season 4 was the weakest, but I didn't hate it. season 5 is insane, I promise you'll never guess how it ends lol. the final shot is one of my favorite endings of any show, I'll say that much

I love the curveballs, but Season 4's curveballs just feel so weak. Like the final episode, where you're sitting through a full fuckin funeral only for her to not even be dead at the end of the episode
The last season is better than the 4th. Have fun.
I agree so far, 5th season is WAY better imo
The earlier seasons are much more dramatically engaging and interesting, but as the show goes on it gradually morphs into a more and more absurd comedy until it's completely divorced from what it initially was and personally, I loved it. The first and second seasons had great character development with complex themes and conflicts, while the latter few seasons was purely some of the funniest tv i've seen in a long time.
I can definitely see how some might feel cheated by how the show unexpectedly changes tone--but the way I see it--the writing quality didn't significantly degrade at all, it just switched genres. It feels like over time the writers started to care more about the show as an absurdist comedy than a drama/comedy.
Maybe I'm wrong and it was actually unintentional, maybe the writers just completely lost their minds. Either way it's a very interesting and unique show, definitely worth sticking through to the end even when you think it has fully lost the plot.
yeah... I have a very bad memory but I remember absolutely loving the first 2 and it tapering off after that
