I'm really appreciating everyone's insight into the direction this show has gone. I think it's gone from a drama to a melodrama. It's turned into a soap opera, less Sopranos and more Falcon Crest. When characters' personalities turn on a dime and alliances are dissolved and rebuilt with no reasonable context it just becomes absurd. The dialogue is a string of over-stylized snarky quips that never resembles how most people speak, let alone constantly. And, why is everyone speaking in a hushed, harsh whisper that used to be reserved for serious confrontational moments?
