    Everyone is obsessed with plot development at the expense of entertainment. The great writers know how to do both. Like for example in The Boys. That show has something spectacular happen in every single episode, while also developing the plot and the characters.

      I’d look to a show like The Good Place for a perfect balance.

      It absolutely matters if you haven’t seen previous episodes, but each episode is still, on it’s own, great.

      The boys are getting pretty repetitive though. If i have to listen to the French man talk about Marseille one more time i will break.

      The next season is the final one. Good thing they know when to call it.
