Season 14 improvement??

So I waited a while to start 14 after not loving the 2024 Christmas special. I actually thought I might stop watching altogether.

However last night I watched the first 3 eps of 14 and I'm pleasantly surprised.

-no more Matthew? I felt like he was poorly written and the whole thing about Trixie nursing his dying wife then marrying him was super weird. - Trixie getting a bit more to do with helping Sr Julienne -slightly darker storylines and more moral ambiguity (I'm thinking the Joyce storyline with the mum who left her kids at home alone) -FINALLY addressing Lucille/Cyril I really hope we get a satisfactory update

Those are just my thoughts. Curious what others think!
