Endings Need Work

Consistently great concepts and stories, but too often having weak/rushed endings. Even if you’re going to have additional seasons later, the lame endings really need work. Please.

JaneBerlinH ,

Organize

It’s so disorganized. Why don’t they divide the stories into their own individual shows?

Ladiwanderinstagram ,

Organize!

The stories are mostly good but they need to be organized they are just all thrown together and it makes no sense and I can’t keep the stories separate in my mind.
