[quote=Anonymous]DH and I were just talking about how we'll be glad when it's over. There are still things about the show I like, but it's so dark and twisted and it's unclear that they have anything else to say other than "yeah, Barry is really messed up and so are a lot of these other people in his orbit." The Hank stuff has been funny but also feels pretty nihilistic. Just not clear what the point was of making this 4th season.

Also, I am not a delicate TV watcher but even I find all the stuff with his son on the new season really upsetting and disturbing. Like this kid has, honestly, the worst possible parents and life. There is something messed up about introducing a new character at this stage in the show only to do this to him. Again, it feels nihilistic. I feel like something awful is going to happen to that kid (or he will do something awful) and I won't want to watch. Or alternatively they'll give him a happy ending, which is totally unrealistic for a show that is basically about how past trauma can really screw you up. It feels like there's no good way out of the plot thread.[/quote]
