I still think all the characters are continuing to devolve more and more into caricatures of themselves.

Kendall is just way too cringeworthy in every single interaction he is in - like we ALL know he is going to bomb whatever interaction he takes part in

They do need something major to actually happen, like someone goes to prison or Logan dies, Something major needs to happen to mix things up at the end of this season, otherwise it will start to get old

This was a better episode but I still think all the characters are continuing to devolve more and more into caricatures of themselves.

I thought Kendall was excellent in season 2, but it’s like the writers totally forgot about his character arc and decided to turn him into a degenerate Michael Scott

Watched it again last night and this is pretty spot on. I think what had me so excited about the finale last year was thinking Kendall was finally going to get it together and be a legit adversary for Logan, but they took him back to the Fredo role with Roman making his usual wisecracks and Shiv furrowing her brow at everything everybody says. Even Greg has been pretty boring this year and he was one of my favorite characters on TV the first 2 seasons
