I don’t mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn’t bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.

    BUT, that being said, If i could change one thing I will never do the 3 episode of Carol flipfloping. Another example of nothing happen: The hive go away (omg!).

    Then Carol like them(omg!)… then guess what? we’re at square one!!!

    Is that really all you took from that arc? You took nothing else from it?

    the same way the french had some good time. And we should root against the french, but not against carol??

    “The French” (Koumba) doesn’t want to end the hive. Carol, for most of the season did. You really don’t see the difference there?

    Also, it’s not about "rooting for Carol in terms of her as a person - but her goals in ending the hive. Koumba doesn’t want to do that because he benefits from it. He may be an interesting character, but he isn’t trying to fix it. Carol and Manousos are despite them being somewhat anti-social and sarcastic characters. The whole tagline is “The world’s most miserable woman has to save the world from happiness”.

    Bad writing. We got 3 ep more… but the cost, was having the main displaying a lack of willpower. Yeah she’s back! But no: I cant trust her again. She’s a flipflopper

    Do you think she just flipped randomly? Nothing prompted that?

    I think that’s a rule of storytelling. you can trick the audience, but you can no break their trust. We trusted carol to be a bitch to the hive, and 3 ep broke that trust. So yeah she’s back… but…I dont care that much

    It was more like 2 episodes, not 3.

    I think this show could be done in one season, if the writer wanted. And be great. But just for money, he made it a 5 season show. If I recall the dude is super well-known for previous work, so I guess they let him do whatever. And he indulged into pointless narration

    How do you know that it could’ve been done in one season? You’ve no idea what’s next.

    The “dude” is known for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, so yeah, he comes with a solid reputation.

      I will stop argue with you. You asked the shows we engaged with, while considering it bad. Rather than yucking your yum, the better approach might be to say why I actually engaged with it, while considering it bad: -the premise is great

      • the cinematography is great. The slow panning shot are great
      • there is some humor. My favorite scene, is probably the drone lifting the trash bag. And being a running background gag. I might probably watch it again for season 2… hoping it will move somewhere eventually
