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. |

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. |

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 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.
