As it seems to be the mood all season long, there are sweet moments and a general relaxing, lack of menaces, sitcom style atmosphere. Which sometimes I just need, so that's a joy. But the characters' storylines are fragmented, abruptly interrupted for more than 1 ep, then get a sudden turn which was building up 2 eps before. Other times some changes of mind or behaviour are just too quick, compared to how a character had just behaved up until that point. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing Alice rekindling her relationship with her dad or Sean going full speed into his own business idea. But she had been very stubborn and hurt and putting an emotional wall till ep. 8 ending, and now they're almost back to normal? Sean was given 2 minutes of trying office job? Brian's marriage prep and relationship with his own father got 20 seconds? There's really, really too much stuff going on which isn't given enough space nor exploration or that seemed rushed into the next chapter out of fear of living that storyline too much behind. I don't know if the 30 minutes format is too tight for all the ideas they had or if they should have just taken it slower and developed things in the following season.. but it feels off.
@jojoconejo The tone of the series is so confusing. It seems like they are going for the Scrubs vibes, but it's not coming across in a way that feels comfortable for the viewer.
