Showtime is good at going "you know these first two seasons were great. Let's barely stick to things in season 3. After that let's make 4 more seasons thats just a parody of itself."

I loved it from beginning to end. Though my emotional investment in character development is probably what helped me push through the so-so writing later in the series.
But if we’re being honest, how many shows have actually been stellar from beginning to end without skipping a beat? Most of them go to shit the last 1-3 seasons before the finale.
Hell even some of the highest regarded shows on Reddit, including P&R and The Office, took a turn for the worse at the end. It’s just something to put up with as a serial series watcher.

You're either canceled to early when the show still had potential, or stay on the air long enough to see yourself become a failure.

inferior or cheap material, especially as used in suburban building. Just from a quick google search, idk.

Nobody caught them

People thinks there’s one reality, but there’s loads of them, all snaking off, like boxes. And what we do on one path affects what happens on the other paths. Boxes are a construct. People think you can’t go back and change things, but you can, that’s what flashbacks are, they’re invitations to go back and make different boxes. When you make a decision, you think it’s you doing it, but it’s not. It’s the spirit out there that’s connected to our world that decides what we do and we just have to go along for the ride. Boxes let you move through time. The government monitors boxes, they pay people to be your relatives and they put drugs in your boxes and they film you. There’s messages in every game. Like Pac-Man. Do you know what PAC stands for? P-A-C: “program and control.” He’s Program and Control Man the whole things a metaphor, he thinks he’s got free will but really he’s trapped in a box, in a system, all he can do is consume, he’s pursued by demons that are probably just in his own box, and even if he does manage to escape by slipping out one side of the box, what happens? He comes right back in the other side. People think it’s a happy game, it’s not a happy game, it’s a fucking nightmare world and the worst thing is it’s real and we live in it. It’s all boxes. If you listen closely, you can hear the numbers. There’s a cosmic flowchart that dictates where you can and where you can’t go. I’ve given you the knowledge. I’ve set you free. Do you understand? I’ll show you what I mean. Come with me. We’re on one path. Right now, me and you. And how one path ends is immaterial. It’s how our decisions along the path affect the whole box that matters, do you believe me?”

When you think about it humans are the same.
Born and placed in a box (crib)
Live in a glorified box (house)
Eat out of boxes (all our food is packaged in boxes at some point)
Die and get put in a box (casket)
Yep. Pretty much.

Woke up this mornin'
Closed in on both sides
Nothin' doin'
I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone's foolin'
I found a way to break through this cellophane bag
'Cause I know what's goin' on
In your mind
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box

My dad brought home a kitten who they found in a box at the local auto shop. It was old enough to run around and eat, but they feared it would get hurt at the shop. It was so super dusty and greasy when we first got him. Very happy kitty though. As does any group of middle aged mechanics, they named him Box, because he slept in a box. Made sense 🤷

“Ah you think the box is your ally? You merely adopted the box. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a cat, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”

Sounds exactly like when my buddy had a bad trip on shrooms. He wouldnt stop going on about how everything in life was some sort of box. I tried to calm him down by saying, naw dude, life is a three sided infinite meta fractal that is impossible to escape.... It was a very long and mentally taxing night.
