  • 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


  • Interesting question. you want me to write a better show. Unfortunately I feel I’m not gifted enough to do so, plus this is not my job. So if it make you feel better: I would never be able to write Pluribus. But I can still recognize when it is shitty. This is called taste. We can have different one, and that’s okay. I just argue the glaring problem for my taste.

    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!!! She hate them again (it is not an arc, it is a circle), but now she has a A-bomb…omg! whaaouh In the meantime, we had to endure an asshole prick carol having some good time… the same way the french had some good time. And we should root against the french, but not against carol?? They are doing the exact SAME thing. 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

    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

    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
