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
