I Miss What The Valley Used to Be!

I am rewatching S1 and it used to be so good! Even S2 is better than what we have now. It's not even necessarily Tom and Lala that make it bad, it's just an overall blah-fest.

Does anyone know what it is? And someone made a great point that now Danny is sober on camera, he's easily irritated and triggered which comes off him bein an awful mean man. (Not saying that he isn't)

I hate Jax so I don't think it's him being gone but I just can't put my finger on it.

What is this season lacking?
