I think the show is suffering a bit by not having a human character to kind of empathize with. I find myself not really caring about the robots, despite their discovering consciousness. Them dying is fairly meaningless so I don't have any attachment to them. It's a tough one, becuase it is a show about toasters gaining consciousness. At what point do they go from a toaster to something I care about? None have hit that point for me. And the humans at this point get little screen time and mostly seem to be throw away characters.
I still love the show, but this season ahsn't connected with me nearly as much. I think the above is the reason for that.
