I could see that. They don't want to be labelled a soap opera, so they downplay or eliminate a lot of the whimsiness that characterized the first three seasons; and instead, they up the grit and the gloom and down with stories about acquaintance rape, troubled teens, assisted suicide, false memory syndrome, etc. "You see, folks? Not a soap!" Except, those are the kinds of stories that soaps thrive on, Mr. Cowen and Mr. Lipman, lol!
