I almost specifically noted that Coach Beard got too much screen time in the Amsterdam episode.

Yeah, I pretty much have no use for Coach Beard. They've expanded a role that should've been nothing more than a sort of philosopher Tex Winters.

Though the idea of an American theme restaurant in Amsterdam is fascinating to me. And yeah, if I'd spent 2+ years living in England (english food suuuuuucks) I'd absolutely go ham there even if it's a lousy facsimile of true Americana.
Bottle episode or not (and I'm not sure it would completely meet that definition, they probably spent more filming on location there than any other episode this season), the Roy/Jamie stuff in the Amsterdam episode was some of the best stuff this show has done period in their entire run.

Undeniably true. The Roy/Jamie bit was great. And has been all season.

It was about the only enjoyable 10 minutes of a 67 minute episode.

Episode 7 was only marginally better, though I did like Ola. He's just a cool character and actor.

They haven't honestly spent enough time with either to my liking this season. If this show is ending for good (which I think it should at this point, the well has run dry on a lot of these characters especially Ted), I wouldn't be opposed to a Roy spinoff of some kind.

This show has become an introspective drama comprised of several divergent storylines.

Or you know, a bit far away from what made it so great in Season 1.

It's the most contrived garbage I've seen in quite some time.

"I don't chew my cheerios to save my energy in case class warfare breaks out".

Has to be the worst line of dialogue I've ever been subjected to.

And this would be exactly the issue. They attempted to do too much in taking this from an amusing sitcom with heart (like a sports Scrubs) into what's effectively now become an hour long prestige drama. It would be one thing if they executed that transition, but it doesn't feel to me that they have.

I actually think this season has been very good IF every episode cut all the storylines in half. That probably also gets back to the right balance between comedy and drama. I'm actually glad theyre calling it early rather than shows that strung it out too long. But they're obviously trying to wrap up a million story lines in one season. Kind of reminds me of the beginning of the last season of game of thrones. Trying to cram way too much into each episode

Yeah, they've tried to develop too many characters over the past few seasons and spread themselves way too thin in trying to close all of their arcs in S3. In doing so, it's detrimentally affected all of the characters' storylines.

I think they are telling the story they want to tell.

If it isn't the story you want to hear, no one is forcing you.

Personally, I don't feel compelled to finish a series if it is no longer interests me.

I wish we weren't going to finish it (I don't want to be a blip on their metrics to inform them that what they are doing has garnered my approval). But my wife is a political normie and doesn't view life through the same lense. I roll my eyes at some of the stuff here and she has has no clue as to why. So if the show wants to trudge in it, it's fair game as far as I'm concerned to bring up as a talking point as to why it's nowhere near the show it was in season 1.

It went off the rails in the second season but even then every episode has something that tugs at my Midwest roots and values. For that, I will watch it till the end and take the good with the bad.
