Yeah, Max's exposition to Holly that was like...most of the episode? It was absolutely necessary to understand what was going on, but it was an exposition dump that was like the writers were wiping their asses with the golden rule of narrative, "show, don't tell."
If you have to tell the audience what is happening all the time, you're just straight up not a good writer.
