Modern Family: Pool Party (2019)
A strong episode in an otherwise weak season
Modern Family is not the critically-acclaimed show it once was. But something about this episode brought a little bit of that back. Realistic & relatable plots and issues, conversations with the perfect balance of humor and well-acted emotion, natural jokes that weren't forcefully set up from a mile away, and strong acting from everyone (even Gloria and Lily brought it this episode).
I must admit that I watch out of habit now, but this episode was a pleasant surprise and left me excited for the next.

All visuals, no logic
For a show that began low budget with incredible writing and intricate, logical plots, this ending was beyond disappointing.
SPOILERS:
-Sam dropped out of the citadel before obtaining a single chain link, and yet now he's suddenly grand maester with a full chain
-Bran, an emotionless, static "not a man" and the 3ER who's whole plot taught him he knew too much and therefore needed to be very careful not to influence timelines, is given the position of king. Because absolute monarchs have no influence /sarcasm. Also, no one gonna talk about how he knew Dany was gonna burn down KL and said nothing so he could be king? 🤔
-Brienne now serves Bran instead of Queen in the North after pledging herself to Sansa
-Tyrion has to EXPLAIN Dany's madness to us
-Jon banished to the Night's Watch. WHAT NIGHT'S WATCH??
-After seasons of dealing with the Iron Bank, Bronn (with no financial experience aside from killing people for money) suddenly waves his hand and says all the debt is gone.
-So so so many unresolved plot lines and destroyed character arcs.
Visually stunning but empty and meaningless. A beautiful, hollow shell of what it once was.

The final message of GOT
The final message of GOT: women can't handle loss like a man can and are too emotional to rule. Thanks, D&D for your trash ending.
Jon: *executes Janos slynt and all of his traitorous murders, including Olly, a child*
Dany: *executes Varys for treason*
Jon: "OmG MaD QuEeN!"
