Clancy Brown even said in an interview that to cut corners they fired the writers who made season 1 what it was.

Wow, yeah I loved season 1, and then 2 was still pretty good and it kept getting worse after that

The writer's room also went from a complex understanding of the worlds they were writing about to just using generic tropes about the rich. Tropes are awesome, but not when used as a replacement for knowing what you are doing.

I didn't know that. What a bunch of muppets. Knowing showtime they are gonna keep this running for 5 more seasons till they eventually cancel it when the writing gets even more god awful

you mean when viewership decreases below profitable levels, it's pretty clear at this point they don't care for quality at all

Very reminiscent of how AMC treated The Walking Dead following a hit first season.
