definitely. they’ve got an ensemble cast and they rarely utilize them. worse yet, on the rare occasions that they do utilize them, they’re misutilized. case in point - Stanley having an affair? come on now… he’s the most lethargic character there (moreso than kevin) yet he’s out clubbing? who cheats at a club?
they could go through entire seasons without having a plot concerning michael (falling into a koi pond) if they would just do arcs concerning the various characters. Meredith, Bob/Phylis, Creed, Darryl, etc. are all ripe with potential storylines way better than some of the michael-centric stories that this season is churning out.
