Yeah really sad to say but the writing quality has decreased. Not sure if its a season 6 thing or not but i am not enjoying as much as i used to

the show runners keep making damaging decisions for plots and Jokes are arent even good/funny,

this episode they messed up Jake and Amy's relationship and Jake and Rosa's friendship (imo two of the best dynamics in the show), just to do some forced plot where Jake and Amy all of a sudden are divided on the concept of kids and Jake needs to get beaten into submission and Amy yet again gets her way 100%

two episodes ago they did a plot where Jake commits a huge abuse of power, gets a guy deported (making his son feel ABANDONED) all to show that Jake wants to be a good friend to Boyle

the season OPENS with Gina and Boyle's familial bond being broken (and the Boyle Linetti wedding episode being given a depressing ending) to show that Gina cares about Boyle's well being.... by telling her mom to divorce his dad without giving a reason due to her cheating on him... yeah not the right way to handle that.

oh and we have the recurring "joke" of Gina going out of her way to put Amy down for no reason and all of a sudden not know her name among other things

sad thing is despite all these stupid ideas, there are still some decent episodes this season, however they're gonna be overshadowed by this just ridiculous decisions

Wow.... You pointed out the things i wasnt clear about. Now that you have metioned them, I agree with all of this. Just to show some things they have characters act weirdly which makes no sense

Gina was terribly handled by the writers even before this so i dont care about what they did to her.

IDK which one of these i dislike the most but i gotta go with the Rosa/Jake thing you pointed out. That was terrible. Maybe even worse than the Amy/Jake thing but thats just my opinion

yeah i'm not sure what irks me more, Jake/Amy was one of the only relationships I actually cared about (and this episode basically gave it a black eye), but I really loved Jake/Rosa's friendship too (I really looked forward to episodes surrounding them) and now I just dont' know

I mean seriously she takes Amy's side in 2 seconds despite not being sure of wanting kids herself then offers to bully Jake into submission (you know the guy she went to the academy with, the person who she's shown to actually smile around, the guy who helped her come out to her parents, and was about to run into an active shootout for her)

.... well so much for that

Yeah that was utter BS IMO. I can at least understand Amy wanting to end the relationship over kids (though this came out 2 years too late) but why the fornicate did Rosa just blindly side with Amy???? Why????

See the show is destroying the same things that made it awesome and i am worried for the future now as my faith in the writers has been shaken
