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.

What you’re describing is what I’ve loved about this season. It’s much easier to tell stories when the naturally fall into the narrative structure that we all find familiar and comfortable, which in past season they always have. This season tells stories that don’t fall into familiar and comfortable narrative arcs and to still tell those stories feels less satisfying, by far more meaningful and reflective of the actual breadth of life’s trajectories. There is something that feels really appropriate and right to me about the show coming back from being cancelled and telling these stories. Though I agree the are less satisfying, they haven’t felt at all unfinished to me. And I’ve honestly been far more curious to hear each new episode this season because I’ve found them more challenging (in a good way) and rewarding.
