Need people to convince me to keep going with the show
Hello everyone,
This probably isn’t the correct place to air my grievances with the show considering you’re all big fans but I’m not sure if I can continue. For context, I finished the first season and have 2 episodes left of season 2 but planning on stopping once I finish.
Season 1 was so great, I felt like it had such a great formula where every episode someone gets into shit (mostly Frank) and the whole family has to get together as a team to fix it, all the while having recurring bits and a steady storyline that keeps you going throughout the season.
Season 2 has been such a massive shift from that formula. I’m not talking about the vibe of the show, obviously that will be different given that it was summer, but I’m really just talking about the structure. It feels like the storyline has gotten way too chaotic, and nothing particularly interesting happens in each episode. It’s really just a constant engine of moving forward in time, this happens then this happens then this happens then this happens on and on and on. Too many storylines that I just don’t care about anymore (Sheila’s most notably). Does the show stick with this for the next 9 seasons, or are there more episodes that feel like season 1.
