I really enjoyed season 1. My appreciation for the show gradually declined with seasons 2 and 3. Still, I was looking forward to getting back into the series after such a long break.
This first episode made me realize how lucky I have been for the past two years without it.
The only reason it gets two stars from me is because the acting is excellent. That's it.
This show has always been filled with woke references, but as the writing declined, these references increased (perhaps there's a correlation there). Episode 1 of season 4 has gone all out. While there isn't much in the way of woke dialogue, the entire atmosphere of the show is drowning in it.
Then there's this: I am not a religious person. I'm not even sure which religion is being portrayed (I think Catholic) in much of this episode, but it is obviously a Christian denomination. I couldn't help thinking about what kind of outcry there would be if the events were written to take place in a Mosque, Synagogue, or any other house of religion, or their deities portrayed in a similar fashion.
Again, excellent acting. But that's just not enough to overcome terrible writing and every other aspect of the show.
They have, in my humble opinion, "jumped the shark". There will be no reviews of further episodes from me.
