I think just the fact that supposedly the main show is all stuff that has happened in the past and is being told to the audience in present day limits the writers. Hopefully they had a full outline of the show when they started writing it like Ted Lasso did, otherwise I predict it will start to fall apart in later seasons.

But for now I really enjoyed the first two seasons and I don’t hate the uncle and nephew in present day specifically-I just am frustrated with how the story structure can be limiting in general.
