Throughout the run of the show, it felt like each episode was telling a completely different story with a completely different message. Which would have been fine if everything were not so quickly forgotten. (Sam’s principled stance on the airline sponsor seemed like a big deal at the time, but was never mentioned again, and so many episodes followed that pattern.)
There was an overarching story, but we kept going off on unrelated and ultimately inconsequential tangents.
It was still a great show, but it could have been so much better with more focus and more of an effort to tie episodes and themes together.
