It started getting pretty formulaic, and some of the characters changed in ways that made no sense, Richard being the main one. Early on, he wasn't OK with paid users padding the usage metrics for Pied Piper and completely ruined Bachman's fundraising, but then like 2 seasons later he's totally OK installing software on everyone's phones at a tech conference? Totally inconsistent character development.

TJ Miller leaving was another huge setback for them, he really was the perfect foil for all of the characters around him.

I personally believe that having TJ Miller on the cast after all of the disciplinary stuff he got himself into (calling the bomb hoax on the AMTRAK train / the person whose friend is called "Cunty" revealing that he was a prick to everyone on the set) would have drawn a lot of smack towards the production team. Miller just made things horrible for himself.

Agreed but I also have to agree with GP; Bachman was a really entertaining part of the show and I've personally had a hard time feeling as invested in it with him gone.
