I think it's a combination of lazy writing, trying to be 'in', and also trying to be smart.
If you want a breath of fresh tv air, let me recommend a brilliant show that has a dedicated cult following and was cancelled after 2 seasons because Netflix gets more subscribers by adding new shows and advertising them instead of pleasing their current audience. The OA. I loved it.
I loved The OA! The second season was good too but just a bit on the meta side ๐
I really liked The OA, but I thought the end of season 1 was the absolute worst, most cringe-inducing nonsense I've ever seen in my life. I'm not even being hyperbolic. It almost completely ruined what I thought was a great show before that. Haven't given season 2 a chance because of it.
Wow I really had the exact opposite reaction, I thought it was great. Heartbreaking and unexpected. If you enjoyed the rest of season 1 you will probably enjoy season 2, the ending is very different to s1 and a bit more mind-bending.
I really should give it a try. I liked almost everything else about S1.
Well that's definitely an opinion. What else did you hate so I can add it to my watch list?
Yes, The OA was quality. Another show I liked was starring Hillary Swank about a first manned mission to Mars and the challenges both the astronauts, their families, and their societies faced.
Cancelled after one season?? It must be amazing! Fuck I hate netflix for their BS. Shitty tv shows get more seasons while the gold gets discarded.
I'll check it out. On IMDB I was reminded she was in I Am Mother which is a great sci fi movie. At least movies can't suffer the same fate as series. Kind of. Still want to see a Dredd sequel.
Hillary Swank is one helluva fine actress. I like her because she isn't typically Hollywood beautiful. She has an imperfect beauty about her that positively radiates.
That explains so much. She is excellent
