Overview

• Viewers expressed disappointment over Season 6's reliance on clichéd tropes, including the 'real father' storyline for Mel, which many found unoriginal and unengaging.
• Convoluted plotlines, such as the backstory between Mel's parents and the unexplained feud between Doc and Everett, left fans frustrated and confused.
• The abrupt and poorly handled narrative shifts, including Cameron leaving Muriel for his ex and Denny and Lizzie's expanded but uninteresting arc, were heavily criticized.
• John 'Preacher' Middleton's lenient punishment for a serious crime further fueled complaints about the season's lack of realism and stakes.
• Despite the backlash, Netflix has confirmed a Season 7, with creators promising to focus on Mel and Jack's married life and the theme of family, though no release date has been announced.
