It was honestly one of the dumbest shittiest shows I've ever watched. Comparing that trash to BB is hilarious.

That's just another version of "I didn't lose...I was robbed!"

Spoiled and entitled.

I thought it was kind of boring, but I really can't understand the uproar over this. They wanted a matriarchal society as background for the twins, but spared us the subservient men. That is a good choice.

I think it was pretty forgettable and I can't remember any other places that might be considered shoving lesbian agenda down anyone's throat.

There are clearly story problems with what is basically just a cop drama, but if you want to tell that well the cops have to be good partners, or have conflict of their own that isn't a secret, or anything interesting. It was very much a gamble to save the conflict until the end and now that it is canceled, there won't ever be character development for them to build on.

It's a mess because it assumed a second season would happen I think, and instead of ensuring a great first season, they held back the good stuff.

I was interested in it because I really like Russian Doll, but everyone should make every season like it is the last from now on because it probably is.

You see, the difference between this and Russian Doll is that Russian Doll didn't suck ass.

I mean, the second season was pretty useless. By the first season at least was fantastic. And Nadia was essentially the same kind of character Natasha Lyonne always plays so I'm guessing she was the driver behind most of the creative decisions.

I feel like Leslye Headland probably just sucks at her job.

And that’s the issue.

There are actually a lot of elements that are really cool if you’re just outlining the events of season 1.

Coven of Force witches who created a vergence the Force and a pair of Force sensitive twins? That’s interesting.

Conflict between well-meaning Jedi and that Coven, driven by misunderstandings, Jedi arrogance? I mean, tragedy is one of the oldest art forms, people.

A failed Jedi who walked away and is just living normally until sucked back in by a mysterious murder trend of the Jedi who brought her into the Order after the tragedy? Cool.

A Sith apprentice in the Rule of Two trying to find his Acolyte and stumbling across one of those vergent twins? Yeah, that can rock. Especially if Darth Plagueis is his master and the whole connection to creating life with the Force is being shown and played out.

If you’re sitting down to mind map this story and those are your big events, there is just so goddamn much to work with.

But it didn’t come together. When you have cool general concepts and they’re just not well-executed, that’s on the director and the writing team (which really falls on the director because they’re the one that signs off on the writing).

I don't think they held back any good stuff. They just had no fucking clue what they were doing.

I also agree that the woke stuff is massively overblown, but it's because of how trash the show is. These idiots call everything woke now and since this show was just absolutely the worst thing ever, the wokers are getting extra loud about it to push their own agenda.
