Yes...and no, lol.
On the one hand, with budget-smashing Jeff Freilich out as EP/show runner, FC kind of gets back to basics: no more Special Guest Stars, and no more international cartels either. With Camille Marchetta and the returning Michael Filerman, there appears to be a renewed emphasis on the actual vineyards, with the Channings and the Giobertis (or, what's left of them), along with the addition of a second branch of the Agretti family and the Ortegas for some class/ethnic conflicts.
But, on the other hand, those additions to the cast prove to be deathly dull; and unfortunately, that, along with what just about everyone agrees was the show's biggest blunder (I won't say, in case you don't wish to be spoiled), lays the groundwork for what will be the MASSIVE creative overhaul that comes with S9 - more massive, I would say, than the one that came with Freilich - that renders FC totally unrecognizable.
