Changes will be better in the long run

There were A LOT of changes in the first 10 minutes of S4's premiere. But! I think they're all for the better.

First, Rachel King's character needed to go. She took screen time away from F&B. And let's be honest, her acting wasn't stellar compared to the rest.

Second, Karp is much better as an adversary, rather than a partner. Allows for more pointed and purposeful interaction between him and F&B.

As for Pindar and Karmen, hate to see them go, but at some point their story development was running out. Having them living with F&B made it semi-important for them to be seen a good bit, and thus, thrown in the mix. I am not sold on the new PI, but with him not living with them, there's no need to see him all that much.

In the end, changes will be better for the show. We get more F&B and that's fine with me.

Not sure the changes are for the better, but it was time for a change. You don't want to become the same show every week...yet, this feels like the same show. Just with different people.

Wasn't impressed with the changes. Maybe it will get better.

Pindar, Pindar, Ohhhh bring the quirkiness of Pindar back. Thank god the dragon lady is gone. It's getting creepy that I get older and she stays looking like she did in Melrose Place in the 90s.

I can't say I miss him, but then I also watched all the first season of Silicon Valley. Honestly, I thought his character on that show was a lot better.

Honestly I'm glad he's gone from F&B so that he can be on that show, or I never would have heard the term 'Mean Jerk Time'.

I agree. The first Ep this season was kind of disappointing but I really enjoyed the second Ep and like where the show is going. More Malcolm McDowell would be great.
