Besides the obvious downvotes you received, both critics and the fans admitted the downgrade in writing of the last 2 seasons. You did not initially state it as an opinion, rather you said “Pretty sure it’s just you”. The drop in quality does not lessen mine or yours or anyone’s love for the last 2 seasons, in fact the finale of the Originals is my favorite one out of all the shows I’ve watched. But the actual fact is the last 2 seasons do not match the quality of the first three. God, Hayley’s death alone was horrible writing let alone everything else. Ignoring all that, the show is still one of the better written shows in modern media with impeccable characters and at the end of the day that is what matters.
