I was feeling a bit more positive about the show at first with what they were setting up with Alicia working with Lucca in bond court, but yeah it quickly became a drag when a good chunk of the show was being spend on characters that the writers clearly no longer care about. I hesitate to say whether this is down to Julianna being executive producer or not, but it does feel like the show has become so Alicia-centric that the shows only concern is how to end things for her character, so there's lots of focus on Alicia acting freer with Jason and being ready to ask Peter for a divorce finally, as well as rushing her into partnership with Diane for the end of the series. And that's all well and good, but some of the other characters (Diane and Cary again!) are now being written to suit Alicia's character, rather than with their own story arcs first and foremost in mind

I agree with everything that you said, I was a really big fan of Alicia and Cary growing closer in season 5 with their new partnership, but Will's death seemed to make the writers panic and return everything to the status quo as soon as they possibly could, yet at the same time Will's death seemed to make them lose interest in having any interesting relationship dynamics with their main cast
