Hey! I'm watching the show for the first time and only have a couple of episodes left until the end of season 4. I really loved seasons 2 and 3 because they focused on the core characters with only minimal and temporary additions to the cast. Season 4 isn't as bad as I thought it would be given the reviews. I do like some of the new characters like Al, June and John Dorie (fuck Charlie though) but I hate that they killed off Madison and Nick. I've read that season 5 is awful but that season 6 has a much better start. Is season 5 really that bad? How many different plotlines are they really going to cram in the show? Because the 4 different plotlines of season 4 were quite difficult to keep up with (add to that the shitty pace and the flashbacks during 4A). How many more characters can they introduce without them being underdeveloped because lack of screen time? I'd really love to have the show more centered around Strand, Alycia, Luciana and maybe teaming up with Al & co again.
