called it. this show was a mess, adult astronauts, of whom advanced education and cognitive ability are a prerequisite, spend 90% of the seasons runtime continuously unable to put 2 and 2 together, lol. the scale and production of this show with it's A tier cast deserved so much better writing than it got.
I'm just fed up with the quantum quantum parallel universe BS. Dark Matter looks a little bit more enjoyable at the moment, but definitely in precarious balance.
Apple TV+ have some pretty solid Sci Fi shows, but I've been disappointed more than once lately. I have a lot of hope for season 2 of Severance, and a fair amount of apprehension TBH.
PS: Did you watch Sugar? That thing was totally unexpected, but I'm not quite sure if it was in a good way, or a bad way, or a meh way.
I like the premise of parallel universes (the road not taken), but the pacing of Dark Matter is why I gave up on it. Its just slow to get to the point, no filler just padding the moments to get the episode to a 45-50 min runtime.
agreed, i mean i'm still interested, but you gotta hook me, DM didn't, it was a slog, and I've been through too many of those to invest in an another AU wizard trip unentertained, which is why i made it to 1/2 of ep 2, but will go no further
Yeah, I was appreciating Sugar as some sort of modern edgy “Magnun PI”, and I was looking forward to it, but that twist changes everything. I hope they do it justice, because the show it was heading for would have been good
You kinda spoiled it for everyone who didn’t watch the show yet though. Could you edit your comment a bit please? Thanks.
That was me with war movies 10 years ago. Then zombie movies 5 years ago. And super-hero movies today.
Can you give more details on the story, please? I don't mind spoilers...
Edit: I mean, I'd like to know what obvious things the characters were missing.
I was still able to enjoy it though, I want more of this vibe.
Can't. Cancelled.
Aww man, since when?!
Since last week.
Someone should post this online, in like an article or something.
You're on to something here...!
Yeah, it was so messy and infantile.
They needed to move the story a but faster and treat it like people understood things faster.
