I'm honestly surprised we got two decent seasons. I knew Netflix was going to screw it up, they have a horrible track record. Why do people still pay for it? How many times do they have to burn its users?
Ok, first seasom had its issues but I'd agree it was decent, showed potential. But which other one was decent? Second one was abomination, third I didn't make it past Thanedd
I had fun with 2. Definitely a drop from 1 but still fun for me. We don't talk about 3
Oh... Was it that bad? I dropped after S2 because it was (barf emoji) and Cavil announced his departure/recast for S4.
I can't even put my finger on what was the issue with it specifically. But the fact that I endured S2 and couldn't make it through S3 should tell you all you need.
They got back to actually adapting source material, but made it more stupid. The characters were just destilled versions of themselves, there was no depth.
I gave up after the Thanedd episode where they were acting like there is this grand plan that they slowly uncover for you, Ocean's 11-style - they tried to actboh so clever but it was just so not clever they made themselves look stupid.
I gather you arr not familiar with the books then :D
Don't get me wrong, not bashing you for it, glad you were able to enjoy S2 as well.
I am... I just enjoyed it still
Well good for you then. I didn't think it possible :D
