Blue Bloods (2010)
Took a real nose dive at season 5
Amazing show, really enjoyed the writing. I'm watching it again from season 1 onwards and couldn't help but notice the drama and nonsense that came into the plot lines of season 5.
It went from a straight-forward show to a sequence of forced plots and out-of-character decision making. Quite honestly it feels like a total change of direction for the show and I'm enjoying it far less.
I'll continue to watch and see what happens, but it's gone from a 9/10 (for season 1-4) to a 5 or 6/10 for season 5. The added drama and fuss just isn't something that adds to my enjoyment.
Hopefully it pulls itself out of the gutter in the coming episodes... If it continues to play out like a soap-opera I'll be cutting it off pretty soon.
Billions: Lamster (2019)
Bad writing
Really can't wait for this season to just end. The characters have lost their consistency and the plot is a tangled mess. Feels like the 'B' team were drunk when this was sketched out.
The revenge plot has lost depth and the actions of the characters are not a natural arc from previous seasons.
Each and every one of the regular cast have been turned into dumb, highly flawed individuals. There's no sense of subtlety or smart humour. It's more akin to a poorly scripted soap or drama.
Like lots of other productions, it feels like the rookie writers were let loose and they've really destroyed this for me. I don't think I'll be binging the 5th season... I'm done.
