My wife and I have been fans since episode 1. The plot-lines were excellent, the cast members were locked in for most part. The weekly guest stars were known artists from other movies or television series, adding so much to the stories . Topics were always interesting, era appropriate, and drew you into the storyline. We have streamed the series again a couple times. But, the longer the series goes, the thinner the plots and storylines get. The revolving door seems quicker for characters. Matthew needs to speak up or man-up and take Trixie's bank privileges .To be honest ,her character always wore thin quickly. Some of the actors seem to be phoning it in.
When I catch myself, scanning my tablet during new episodes, I know its predictability and boredom setting in.
It is wise to know when to take a bow, and exit gracefully. Thank you for a great series.
