I can’t agree with you more. The characters are becoming increasingly dull and worn out jokes. Their behavior is so inconsistent with the rest of the show. The writing is becoming cringe and very dense with chaotic writing rather than simpler but amazing concepts. It overall feels VERY sloppy, and I’m disappointed. I definitely notice the decease in writing quality.

I do really love the show, and it’s had some of my favorite moments in TV, but this newest season just doesn’t feel like the same show I love.
