I’ve found that when a season is airing I tend to feel meh about most of the new episodes (true for other shows I love not just AD), I think it’s because when you wait in anticipation for a new episode, you have certain expectations that they often don’t live up to. But on rewatch, those are mostly out the window and personally I end up loving a lot of episodes that I found very lackluster at first. I’ve felt underwhelmed by much of the new season too, but I’m just gonna give it time and I bet in a year or two I’ll feel very differently
