I’m aware that a couple of major characters die in the next year or so, and I’m already dreading it (especially Maggie 💔). Once I was browsing the live channels on Plex and caught a few minutes of the final season. Honestly, it didn’t feel like the same show. Characters I’ve never seen before and the show had a cheap, videotaped look to it. But I’m a completist so I’ll keep trudging through until the end.

I’m only on the first season and I haven’t watched ahead. Those early episodes are in fantastic condition but I’ve heard that the quality changes for the worse in other seasons. I’m just curious why season nine is missing episodes. Are those missing episodes in the vault? I’m new to all this but I’m a little disappointed that the app advertised “every episode” and there is NOT every episode.

Watching Falcon Crest after work at night has been a real joy! I’d never seen the show before until I started watching it on FreeVee. Then they took it off FreeVee when I was nearing the end of season four but fortunately it popped up on Plex a few months later. Right now I’m in the middle of season seven and while I still enjoy watching it, this is the first truly subpar season they’ve done so far. The show was working so beautifully since the beginning. There was a dip in quality after season four but seasons five and six were still pretty good. Now in season seven, we keep getting these action-plots that pop up out of nowhere and end just as quickly. There seems to be no overarching storyline for the season (well maybe Chase’s codicil storyline but that’s been a relatively minor storyline so far). Guests stars show up and leave in a couple of episodes. Characters making ridiculous choices (Eric beats up Vicki while she’s pregnant, causing her to lose the baby. But afterwards, everyone acts like Eric is a great guy and he’s laughing with the other dudes at Richard’s bachelor party and all is forgiven/forgotten). I know the show changes in season 8 so I’m looking forward to something different. Is season eight better or worse than seven in your opinion?

Hopefully they will fix those background music issues by the time I reach those episodes. Has anyone checked any fashion show episodes to see how they handled the music copyright dilemma? Or even the Rotterdam concert episodes?
