Yup. The seasons always felt like 80% of it was drama which would be later be irrelevant or subplots that would be unfinished, followed by 10% scheming and a 10% action packed finale where things would kind of reset.

I'm not sure if people just enjoy watching drama but even on some TV shows that I love for the brilliant writing(like Mad Men) it almost felt like too much.

Anyways I think I got to a season after the prison and I realized the loop was not pleasing to me because the characters had little progression, if that makes any sense.
