I like the first part, the second part a bit less, but still a funny episode…It felt like a transition episode instead of a finale. I think we will get 1 or 2 more seasons to round this up.
As I'm watching this I can't stop thinking that in real life California doesn't uphold non-compete agreements. I get that creative license allows for unlikely plot devices to move the plot forward, but it goes to show the lack of imagination in the writers room for this show. As does getting real world celebrities to join the cast such as Carol Burnett. And just the premise of making the show about comedy writers in the first place.
These are all signs of lack of imagination. As was the last episode where they shot in Singapore for no apparent reason.
I'm not saying writing comedy is easy especially these days where you're not allowed to accidentally offend the woke mob, but they could try a little harder. Then again HBO doesn't have a good track record. So I guess it's par for the course.
I'm not saying that there isn't anything endearing about the show. But they could do better.

Why would someone like Deborah Vance ever get rich doing comedy? She has no personality or sense of humor.
Why do you keep watching so many shows that you seem to hate? Every single comment I see from you is about how terrible [insert any show name] is, and how everything is woke and awful.... just don't watch it? This is season 4, episode 5 of a comedy, if you find the main character unfunny, why watch?
