I positively loved the first 4 seasons of this series and couldn't wait for the next. However, Season 5 has left me cold. I found it clichéd and bordering on slapstick at times as if the writers had run out of steam. I've got my fingers crossed it doesn't "Jump the Shark".
The mother-in-laws' "tension" for one is so ridden with clichés I found it a yawn. Please. These are two intelligent women reduced to caricatures.
And the ongoing tangle with the competing law firms? Desperado gunslingers comes to mind.
I was enthralled with the intelligence of the first 4 series, but now? Sidetracking (the pregnant ethics consultant?)threads going nowhere are highly irritating. Even Alan Cumming is grossly underused and becoming a cliché himself.
And Kalinda? More please but not the angsty bed hopping dialogue-less cypher she's become.
