There's various bits in there that actually move the story along, but unfortunately there's also loads of boring slow bits that are irrelevant to the story and just feel like filler to stretch out the episodes. To be honest I'd be fine with the season being fewer episodes so the story could progress at a decent rate. Them trying to further expand into the lives of other characters in the most boring, mundane ways, just grinds the progress to a halt. I don't care about some cousins gay wedding or your estranged kid you're trying to form a relationship with. Get on with the actual story. Even the stuff with the cops is a bit dull and that is at least connected to aliens. Seeing harry being in love was at least somewhat entertaining. This show feels more and more like a background watch. Every now and then we get a good ep, but there's always filler crap like this. Meh.
