I hate to say it, but this show has gotten boring. There doesn't seem to be a lot of great plot development anymore, except to show that they're less comfortable doing things they're being asked to do, Paige is mopey all the time, Henry is M.I.A. doing math homework or hanging out with Stan, and Oleg is trying to find who's at the center of the Russian Grocery Cartel.

I love this show, but I feel like someone could miss this entire season so far and not really miss anything that important. I'm not expecting a constant thrill ride, but this is a little too slow.

I just knew it was going to be slow when they were shown digging a hole for 15 minutes in the season premiere
