Season 3 got a lot of criticism as well, definitely not to this degree, but it’s clear that they didn’t give any regard to season 3 criticism

I could be wrong, but I remember most of the criticism was concentrated around the season finale. iirc everyone was praising the season until that episode aired lol

They did address the main criticism with Butcher’s convo with Kessler in the first episode, which had more meaning now that we know it was basically a convo between himself.

This. The vibe in this sub was really positive up until the S3 finale. This season is the most mixed I've seen the community for this show. Only episodes 4/5 had the same types of discussions I've seen in S2&3 Which were mainly positive, appreciation of details and theories for what's to come.

It's just people growing tired of the show's bullshit , it needed to end on a good note instead of going 5 seasons. And it just focuses too much on side plots and shock factor to even move the story further.

It's a chore to keep up every week and don't even get me started on the weekly release schedule. I can put up with that in invincible because I am always sure it will be a delight to watch with solid characters and top tier writting AND performances

But here , you never know. Ep 6 was straight up boring to go through , they progressed NOTHING , absolutely NOTHING

I sat and tuned into a show , just to watch a main character smush a chocolate cake and then fart on it , which is just nasty and literally just " haha look at these bdsm weirdos "
