UGH, that was totally my experience too, just, like, a confusing lack of enthusiasm, even though the show wasn't actively bothering me! DDDDDD: TRAGIC.

But yes, exactly, all the repetition and caricature and the stuck in a rut! I enjoyed last night's episode more, but I feel like that might've just been that I've finally lowered my expectations and as long as Ron and April and Leslie are being delightful I don't care what other bullshit is going on or how shitty of a boyfriend Ben is. D:
