How do you guys feel about the criticism of this season? Lots of critics and people on Reddit have said this season has been a lot of wheel spinning and they feel like major plot lines have been dropped a little too quickly. I think there are articles from The Atlantic and the LA Times making these same criticisms about this season.
I’ve still enjoyed this season but I do somewhat agree with the point about certain plots being built up and then dropped on a dime. The scene where Gerri convinced Logan to let the FBI in the building was some of the best drama I’ve seen in a while… but then nothing happened afterward. There was so much buildup to that point of reckoning for Logan and there was no fallout, no tension during the raid, it kind of just went away. It also feels like they sacrificed screen time for some of the best actors on the show (where’s my guy Stewie?) in favor of bringing in bigger names like Brody and Skarsgard.
I try to avoid reading too much analysis about shows for this exact reason but this season wasn’t what I expected in certain areas.
Edit: and to be clear I still really like the show and it’s the only thing I watch immediately once a new episode drops. I think a lot of the complaints are from people who binged the first two seasons and never let things breathe.
