It just all of a sudden feels like a random collection of New York stories without the narrative glue of the weed guy and not the humor of the early episodes.

episode 4 seemed like a weird handoff between the Asian folks story (which I wanted to see more of) and the old raver (which I wasn't so interested in) by using the smartphone class instead of the weed guy (did the Asian people story have any weed connection?)

I don't know if the show changed or if it's the nature of anthology series but it kind of feels like no matter how good any individual story is, there isn't a strong compelling reason to tune back in next week.
