Welcome To Plathville season 6, fans have been struggling to stay excited about the comings and goings of the Plath family. While the drama of the series has typically been centered around the relationships the Plaths share with each other and their significant others, the most recent season was a shift. Many felt that shift was in the wrong direction, even after begging for changes for the last several seasons of the show.

Fans are struggling to see a path forward for the Plath family after the Welcome To Plathville season 6 finale.

After the Welcome To Plathville season 6 finale, fans are struggling to see a path forward for the Plath family’s show. The lackluster season, which re-introduced Olivia Plath independently of her relationship with Ethan Plath, the family’s eldest son, brought the Plaths back together after spending seasons apart. While Ethan’s crumbling marriage was only part of the season, it felt like the biggest storyline while Kim Plath’s struggles in her divorce from Barry Plath were pushed to the back burner. “The show has ran its course,” JohnnyRed575 in Rabies3000's Reddit thread shared, with many chiming in to agree wholeheartedly.

Although Welcome To Plathville is typically one of the most popular shows on the network, the most recent season has been a struggle for even the most dedicated of viewers to move through. After a messy divorce, Olivia and Ethan were separated throughout the majority of the season, and with each of them isolated to their own storylines, it was difficult for viewers to find themselves invested in the storylines. Olivia’s stories were isolated from the rest of the family after her divorce, which allowed them to craft whatever narratives they wanted about her as they moved through the season.
