Yes, last season of JoA was, overall, excellent. The first half - up through the Science Fair episode - was outstanding; I think it sagged a little after that before coming back strong in the last two or three episodes.
I like the fact that they don't duck the hard issues. That a hit TV show would come to the edge of the Dark Night of the Soul (I know, it's not quite that, but it's in that direction) amazes me. And - judging from the first episode this year - they're not going to let her out easily.
I'm glad that the show resonates so for you, if not for the particular form that resonance takes, and I do hope you find your way out of the valley soon.
