Is anyone else not enjoying Season 12? (Apologies if there’s an existing thread on the topic)

I was so excited to find out that season 12 was being filmed and on the horizon. I think CYE is hands down the funniest show of all time. I truly believe this and will recommend it to others that have, for whatever reason, never seen it.

I waited a few weeks for more episodes to come out so that I could binge watch it. The other night, my wife (who is also a huge fan) and I relax and get ready to watch! The episode starts and my expectations are quite high. Everything seems well and then the Siri bit happens. A bit that has been overdone and not very funny. I bring a smile to myself in an attempt to find it enjoyable…then the hotel bit with the cleaning lady appears and I sort of wince. Then the glasses part comes on and it’s just so unbelievable that I can’t bring myself to accept it and find it humorous.

Sharlto Copley comes on and starts calling Leon “my brother” and I start to relax again and smile. Then Larry over the top mocking the lady as she tells him a story at the party and I wince again. I finally told my wife I was tired and so we paused it and went to bed.

Has the show that I’ve loved since 2000 finally fallen from grace? I’m sort of scared to continue watching as I really don’t want to end the series on a sour note.

For those that have seen the entire season 12 (until this point), does it get better? Should I hang in there? Call it quits and let season 11 be it in my head?

Apologies again if this has been discussed already.
