Yeah, that's why I think it's audience driven. I don't think Hader ever wanted to push it this hard to make you question yourself for rooting for Barry. But when people were still cheering for him after he'd pretty much established himself as a stone-cold murderer even out from under the grip of Fuches, what else could he do?
And the Hank/Cristobal thing has run its course as well.
The show was so great in season 1, still very good in season 2, but it's pretty much on fumes at this point. It needs to be done.
