What made it really bad, was they never left a very small set/space. I was claustrophobic watching it. I am keeping my fingers crossed for better writing in the future. That entire masquerade ball was horrible. Marlena was so out of character! The acting of all of the characters was more like they were just reading a script and pushing through it.
Also, the scenes with Jenn and Drew are just me with my thumb on the ff button. More garbage filler.
