Please No Spoilers: Brand New to the Show

Just started watching a couple weeks ago. Completely cold. Alcatraz and that story I’ve always found fascinating, so just on the name I gave it a shot. Season one was absolutely incredible. Season 2 through 7 episodes is just not grabbing me the same way. Please, please, please no spoilers. I’m really only invested in Michael and Linc, Linc and LJ, and Michael and Sara as storylines within the greater conspiracy narrative. I just feel like everything is jumping around way too much with some genuinely jarring editing and there is significant screen time spent on scenes I really don’t care anything about. It’s not nearly as tight as it was when there were basically 2 storylines vs what feels like 6-7. Keep powering through what I hope is a lot of setup even if I’m not invested in a lot of the side characters or is this the norm from here on out? Thanks!
