Isn't the plot kinda convoluted now?

I still love the show but isn't the plot kinda convoluted now? And just treading the same ground? Like how many times are we gonna do Barry gets kidnapped or Barry tries kill Gene. Or Fuches and Hanks try to kill Barry. Or Jim Mosss ties somebody to a chair.

I'm also like what was the point of the time jump if they're just gonna guide the story back to the same beats it had before (except without all that momentum)

I love the way this season is directed, but the writing is starting to feel a bit forced and meandering and that maybe they should've wrapped it up after s3
