I just don't understand this trend of mass produced streaming shows, investing a lot of money in the visual spectacle, but utterly failing in almost everything else, especially writing.
I am not sure if the industry had produced a whole army of shallow/unimaginative/uncreative writers and we are now stuck with them for generations, or if the idea is that visuals are the only thing that matters. But for crying out loud, visuals only enhance the story telling.
Such a good idea and such a waste. Characters are poorly defined, dialogue at times seems forced just to serve an event or a trope. At least one dialogue was cut off so artificially and abruptly that it caused me to cringe, and felt like - gotta move on, lots to tell in this episode.
Not worth waiting for improvements. 3 stars is very generous and only for visuals.
And what's wrong with critics nowadays? What are they critiquing exactly? I remember the time when 80%+ was masterpiece territory. May the ghost of Ebert curse you forever. :D.
