As I said, it just rubs me wrong. I love the slice of life episodes, I really do, but BNE just felt wrong and like there wasn’t much payoff for a season of character development. It didn’t help that they were all stubborn morons, and yes I know that’s the point but it still felt off. I contrast it with “Sweet and Elite,” among other episodes, as a slice of life episode that has similar elements but actually works because it acknowledges character development.
