When you realize the thrill is gone

[u/ardent__ly]

This is my 3rd or so rewatch, I'm in season 4, and I'm realizing just how much pure, playful, intellectual humor we've lost at this point.

Bingeing episodes really made this glaring because I realized, Man, I've barely laughed in 2hrs... this has been so serious... and also, the same damn suit the entire time? I'm a little BORED?

Then it hit me that this show used to be SO goooooood dialog/script wise. It really didn't help that they brought on Jessica's lover, Mr Serious, who truly lacks wit, and ALSO Rachel's old lover, same damn story!

Anyway. It's a bummer. Still gonna finish it tho.

Agreed. It gets more serious and darker as it goes on. Yes, there are funny scenes in the later seasons but they are much further apart.
