The last 2 episodes have been full on filler. Which in a 20+ episode season is great, but when you have 10 episodes and a huge overarching story with tonnes of unanswered questions, it just gets annoying.
They'll have another filler episode, then throw in some huge cliffhangers in the final episode. And we'll never hear about any of it next season. It's how they're operating now.
You generally find that the penultimate episode of any season of any show is usually the best of the series, as loads happens to allow them to finish the season and set up the next one.
Given their template for the past three episodes where they do absolutely nothing all episode before dropping a bomb at the end (which is never then explored), I'm not sure what to expect, tbh.
There was a list earlier on Reddit of outstanding mysteries that need an answer.
Meh. We'll just have another 4 episodes focused on Fathima instead.There was a list earlier on Reddit of outstanding mysteries that need an answer.
It had something in the first season or two and it’s losing whatever that was very rapidly.
Shit actors. But they're still there.
Also if you want to go down this route you need characters and relationships that the audience feel something for. Lost did this perfectly so that despite multiple feck-ups and massive leaps with the storytelling, people still remember it very fondly.
All 4 tolerables are on the brink of boring me.
Donna?
Love it. I absolutely hate Donna though, I find her acting borderline insulting (pout, hands in pocket, arc back... and we're done) and I've never found the character particularly interesting. I agree Jade is by far the best character in it, but I also feel they're in danger of making him uninteresting in the very near future.
UncannyDonna?
You mean…
I think the poor acting was pretty apparent from the get go. The plotting, well that could've gone different ways - they've chosen the "we really have no idea, we're throwing shit at walls, we'll forget we even wrote half of it, and we're somehow going to focus on the most mundane and uninteresting of things" which is a bold strategy Cotton.
It's well received and it's also on Prime in other countries and doing well on there, so I reckon we'll get to see the story finished. There's a 5 series story according to the writers. Encouragingly though, they have already planned the ending and that it won't be "It was all a dream".
Every episode is basically Fatima crying/doing gross shit, Ellis looking concerned right next to her, Victor refusing to explain shit and running away, Elgin being stalked by some awful CGI, Julie smoking weed, Boyd dealing with mad townsfolk and then usually a random person being aggro to everyone for whatever reason.
How dare you! Boyd sorta popped into Ellis's wedding. It was a powerful, moving moment, that lasted about 30 secondes before Boyd had to feck off do some unsignificant shit.
It's worse than True Detective. I don't know how anyone watching this show can be unbothered by the acting, it stands out like a sore thumb - and it's not just a couple of actors, it's pretty much all of them!
The acting doesn’t overly bother me, it’s the mystery of it all that has me gripped. I just hope we get a couple of top notch episodes now to finish the series.
Followed by 30 exciting seconds at the end, before its never discussed again. Ever.
Is this for Episode 8? I cannot take another Fatima centric episode. I just cannot.It made me laugh that the episode pretty much opened with Fatima crying
Also
Looks like they’ve introduced some sort of time travel now with the Julie storyline?
Another boring episode. It’s literally become the Fatima show.
Thanks for that. I'll definitely watch it but yes, I'm quite fed up of Fatima dominating this entire season. I hope its not another episode of nothing happening for 40 mins and then the cliffhanger which is the only real reveal.
