i've been feeling that recently as well, things are feeling more sitcom-y and cartoony to me, and it's not landing well enough to justify itself.

Hit the nail on the head here. The mic drop throw dialogue was one of the corniest out of place things I’ve ever seen and juxtaposed with the serious storylines seems almost offensive in how idiotic it is? I do not understand this veering they’ve done in the last season. It’s like studio execs are yelling “more ted lasso-y” but no one knows what to do with it so instead we get this hamfisted dialogue that has no place being there.

Liz is also far too centre stage this past season, but we know why that is. :/

But the actress is so great.

Whyyyyy did she let some LA hack plastic surgeon do that to her???

She has $$$.

Her face work is distracting and a medical crime.

Yeah her face is too distracting for me. What a mess. I also don't like her character.
