Going Downhill...and Fast!
26 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This was once my favorite show. I would anticipate the season release every June so much that i would count down the days and even the hours! But that all stopped after Season 5. S5 wasn't really "awful" per sé but it wasn't what we expected from the hit series.

Then comes the showrunner Jenji Kohan. Who seems to be so upset that we weren't happy with Season 5 that she fires her current writers and hires new ones, and flat out promises us, the fans, that Season 5 would be back to great again. We were all excited for that. We even waited an extra month for the shows release. Thinking that it would be well worth the wait. Especially after the trailers were released. It looked pretty damn good!

Then release date came, and it all came crashing down. Episode 1 was a bust...but i still had hope. Then Episode 2 was bad, 3 was worse, and before I knew it there were 2 episodes left. It was then that i realized thst this season was beyond awful! It was certainly the worst one yet. It makes Season 5 look amazing. It really does. Apparently their plan is to make season 7 about ICE and deportation, etc. That alone makes me realize that this show isn't getting better. It is what it is, and like most shows that start to really suck, it's on its final season. Unlike TWD, a show that keeps getting worse and worse and doesn't know when to quit.

Bottom line, i will not miss the 2nd half of this series. If you haven't seen it then just know that Season 1-4 are great, the rest is just plain bad.
