This isn't the comedy I tuned in for, in fact, it wasn't a comedy at all. Not one single laugh. I get it though...back stories ate important...sometimes. I don't think it was necessary for this show and certainly not in the final season. After nearly two years of waiting, and knowing that this season was the last, I expected the first episode to remind me of why I tune in every week once a season is launched. This episode failed me.
I get it. We all now know the origin of the Gemstones and how they got into religion for money. But devoting an entire episode to that? I agree with others...a few minutes of flashback would have been plenty to have established that foundation. I find myself fast forwarding too often...
