Starting to feel a bit samey.
- Selina wants a thing
- Selina must compromise her ideals (or publicly stated position) to get said thing, which she does
- Thing doesn't pan out anyway

Hasn't that been the modus operandi for the entire series, tho?

yeah, but it was coupled with forward motion through her political career, this is starting to feel stagnant

I'm not disagreeing with you.
I'm really hoping that The Eagle's last line from last season ends up coming to pass.

Jonah has been 100% Flanderized.

yeah, there's something about this season with how he's been written. Definitely more exaggerated than anything previously

Disappointing season, but even then it's still a delightful show to watch.
AV Club's review nailed it.

Stopped watching altogether. I'm just not invested anymore, and the insult-joke thing can only go so far.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This season lacked the "must watch" feeling of the last two.

This season I watched for the first time. I liked it but didn't love it, at least not with the high expectations I had going in. Maybe I'll watch the past two seasons On Demand and get it but it's not a tv priority (20 half hour episodes does play to it's advantage though).

Yeah, I would encourage you to watch the previous two seasons. They go by quickly.

They need to redeem this pretty poor season.
