We keep watching, but I'm not sure why
27 December 2019
By season 3, the main character has gotten almost too annoying to watch. I find the rhythm in her dialog delivery grating, and the character herself is deserving of little respect and empathy. The Susie and Abe characters generally delivered the only humorous lines in the show (which were few and far between), but Susie has gotten to the point where they are relying solely on vulgarity for humor, which misses more than it hits (though it does hit occasionally). I think they've added too many story lines in season 3, and they've also added a number of musical sequences, most of which just make the episode longer than necessary. I think they could have easily cut each episode down to about half and hour, which would make it a bit easier to sit through. If there is a season 4, I'm not sure I'll continue watching. Can't speak for the wife, but she rarely even chuckles during any of the episodes, so I'm not sure how entertained she is by them either. This has become one of those series where we feel almost obligated to finish a season because we've already invested so much time in it, but as with 'The Affair,' which we stopped watching after the first couple of shows in season 5, we might not give the next season much time to impress us.
