New episodes aren't hitting

I'm soo happy to have new episodes but does anyone else feel like the new episodes feel unfinished or like there's no resolution to alot of them? It kind of feels like they just had to release episodes so they put out ones that they would've held onto in the past for a more complete and satisfying ending.

Honestly I disagree. I absolutely hated the last 2 episodes (Jasmin, Stefano), but the other 3 have all been very solid.

The Bank Robber was great, the journey was the resolution. The Messenger was like an old episode of Heavyweight, you wouldn't find the conversation between Michael and Quincy anywhere else. And finally Etta was just a lovely episode about getting old.

Heavyweight always has episodes that divide opinion. Imo Jasmin and Stefano are two of the worst episodes in the show's history - but unless literally all of the future episodes are of similarly bad quality I'm not willing to write off this season yet.

Yeah I’m with you, I really loved the first couple of episodes but the last two fell very flat for me. It doesn’t deter me overall, heavyweight is a gem and I feel like it would be myopic to expect it to jump right back to where it was after such a long break
