At first I was a little "oh, they're not focusing on the wrestling?" and it kinda took me back as well, but after a few episodes I bought in on the idea of the wrestling being more of a backdrop, and less of a character, and individual lives of the characters being more of the focus.
I will agree there's a lot less laughs this season. |
They definitely seem intent on using their platform to explore many, many issues. You’ve got pretty much every character either with some warp speed arc related to romance and/or self realization, then adding in your me-too, sexuality, racism, homophobia, etc.
It seems like they had a laundry list of ideas and wanted to cover everything rather than having space for anything to breathe and play out, so they were all thrown in for a battle royale.
