Yeah like painfully bad. There’s a whole storyline about terry crews building a border wall, but it’s still not funny even with hindsight. Too much focus on liberal politics and Hollywood worship. Acting is solid but writing is totally unfunny. Makes season 3 look like Shakespeare

I've heard its very clever if you watch it in the right context. But yeah the format did not work for me.

I watched it immediately after rewatching the other three seasons. Clearly the writing is not on the same level. Some good jokes, but a lot of cringe worthy and down right boring shit

Did you watch it by itself or did you watch it in conjunction with binging the rest of the series?

The latter. I’ve watched the first three seasons several times, huge fan. I decided to rewatch the entire series about a month ago and am now on season 4. A clear decline in writing.

I hated it the first time I watched it and didn't finish the season. I finally went back and re-watched it all recently and it actually comes together fairly well, but still does decline from earlier seasons.

The later episodes of the season bring a lot of shit together, especially since the actors weren't all there at the same time.

the show just wasn't funny without the characters interacting all the time. imagine if seinfeld decided to have an episode that was 90% jerry, then 90% kramer, then 90% george, then 90% elaine.

also made the bad episodes REALLY stand out. jason bateman is the biggest fraud in acting history, and basically stumbled upon the role of a lifetime 15 years ago which required him to do nothing but watch all the people acting around him as an audience stand-in. he can't act for shit and his episodes were god awful, and unfortunately came right at the beginning

Agree with this analysis 180. The scenes with the good characters interacting with each other standout. Bateman is objectively horrible

It got better toward the end at least

Yes. TV comedies only work if you know the characters and their interactions. In Season 4 you basically have the characters interacting with extras, which doesn't work.

That's why its so dumb when people tune into 1 episode of The Big Bang Theory or whatever the most popular comedy is and go "this isn't funny at all! the jokes are corny!" If you haven't watched about 5 episodes of a sitcom, you probably don't even get the joke.

That's also why its so smart all these networks are rebooting old sitcoms. The Good Place is supposedly a funny show, but I'm not going to fucking devote my time to watch it. But anyone can just turn into the new Will and Grace episodes and just remember that theirs the angry gay guy whose mad at the really gay guy's extremely gay antics.

The netflix one? Yeah it was horrible. Went from being one of my all time favorites to "i cant even finish watching the season."
