That was the issue. And they had season long plots that were just dumb. It needed to go back to being scary and with high stakes for the characters like in the first few seasons.

I don’t think Americans is a good binging show. I quit about that time, but I watched it again later watching only a couple episodes a week and it is one that I think of as a favorite.

At least in the beginning it seemed like the women understood that the patriarchy was the enemy. Now the women, who all commit bad actions because of the subjugation, just fight amongst each other and they try to make some of the male Gilead leadership sympathetic.

They should have saved the Missy actor for the first doctor who. They needed a woman with some gravitas. Whittaker doesn’t have that. I would see a woman doctor as an intelligent, middle age woman with depth, snark, and wit. Not endlessly running around like Whittaker. A good woman doctor would be using her mind and would be a leader. Also the companions were pretty bad and boring.
