I wouldn't call it a winning streak because so much of the show was still mediocre or a mess of bad choices, but the show was very charged up again by a few key choices made in 2024 and 2025 (the Drew/Willow affair, recasting Michael, Emma and Gio, etc).
The problem is that FV's priorities and favorites as well as those of his creative team clearly don't correspond with what did really sing on the show, so we got a lot of dross dragging all that potential down. And then we have the last few months where they upended everything and have fallen back on Frank's old standby of 'hire a bunch of white guys/new people.' The Sidwell/Cullum/Britt/Cassius, etc. saga was incredibly boring to me and should've ended well before it did, but today's canvas is potentially worse on many levels. I too went from watching regularly (with a few breaks between the Michael recast) from '24 on to dropping the show again in August. I keep tabs and dip in and out, but a lot of it is very lame.
