Have these random, oddly very specific pop culture references always been part of the show and I'm just only noticing them this season, or have they just been cranked up to 11 this particular season or the last few?
I find myself just cringing at every single one of them because they're all so loving forced, random and terribly written. What I hate is how specific they are (Like I get the reference if it was about "the guy in Being John Malkovich", but going so specifically as to naming the character, Craig Schwartz, with his full first and last name? Seems so bizzarely specific that no one even as wittily Sorkin-written as these guys are would know ). It also feels constant now too, like every conversation must have one, over the top reference
I don't mind the pop culture metaphors and references but when they make it sound so forced and for characters that would never know those references it really just jars me out of a usually interesting and gripping drama. It's actually taking me to the point of maybe getting out of the show entirely.
Like, the ones that quote movies or whatever are fine and normal, or "it's chickentown" is fine, or throwing in some impressions but some of these are just written like a wikipedia citation
Thank goodness I'm not the only one who can't stand it. I think it is worse this season and it makes me cringe every time.

At least Axe got a semi-happy ending. I don't think I would have wanted him to end the show in jail. I like Corey Stoll as an actor but I don't care enough about his character to mind what happens to him.

I'm a fan of Corey Stoll so I was always going to like this season.

I'm pretty sure the series peaked with

still watching because I enjoy a bunch of the actors in this, but I keep expecting there to be a surprise reveal that some sort of primitive chatGPT has been writing the show this entire time, and no actual human being has written a word of dialogue for this show since season 1.
Is it just me or is the dialogue that much worse this season? I really struggle to get through an episode without cringing half the time.
