It sounds like you’re really frustrated with the pacing of Sistas Season 8 so far. I can understand why you feel that way! The fact that the first five episodes seem to cover only a single day, with the characters repeating the same actions, can definitely make the story feel stagnant. It’s especially tough when you’re invested in seeing real progress, and it feels like we’re stuck in the same loop.
The repetitiveness of some scenes, like Karen’s salon drama or the multiple visits to the penthouse, doesn’t seem to add much to the plot either. And it’s tough when the show heavily relies on moments like the slap or the seizure for its big talking points, as you mentioned. If the episodes aren’t offering much beyond these small shocks, it can be frustrating as a viewer.
The lack of follow-up on important events, such as Gary’s seizure, makes it feel like the show is more focused on keeping viewers in suspense rather than moving the plot forward. You’re right—if the pace doesn’t pick up, it could lead to a sense of diminishing returns. People are clearly reacting to those small moments (like the slap), but long-term engagement might suffer if the storytelling doesn’t evolve.
As for the mystery of who stabbed Gary, it seems like they’re trying to stretch it out, adding new suspects each week. While that can build suspense, it can also leave viewers feeling like they’re being strung along without any satisfying answers.
Do you think it might be a case of the show trying to milk the mystery for as long as possible, or is the pacing just fundamentally off this season? Hopefully, things pick up in the next few episodes.
