I think I'm in line with most in this thread. It's sufficiently interesting to keep me watching but it isn't anywhere near the greatness of S1 or even the very goodness of S3.

The unattractive women are off-putting. I don't wanna hear about realism of how people in a place like this would look. It's fiction. I wanna look at beautiful people on screen. The boxer covered in tats and looking like a pincushion is distracting.

I'm already preparing myself for the disappointing thud that all the supernatural shite is just toxins from the mine making everyone loopy and causing mass hallucinations.

Just watched ep3. Oof. A lot going on but somehow simultaneously nothing really developing or happening. Random Silence of the Lambs reference/ nod was weird. Exorcist scene was totally random too. The guy freaking out was all kind of ok and workable, but then the switch to possession or whatever was out of place. So much of Navarro just walking around looking intense. So much of Danvers standing around looking pensive. The show needed a strong third episode but we got...that.

Positive note, I think Navarro's character is getting slightly better and the actress is doing an ok job with what she's given. Pretty much everything else is meh.

It's not woke though. I dont know why people keep saying that.

DEI has committed the sin of trying to convince the public unattractive people should be on the cover of glamour or Swimsuit magazines.

Hollywood has followed suit.

Movies are escapism. It's amazing how things have changed... From a Grace Kelly beauty threshold that they knew most saw as unattainable and therefore enticing to watch, to women you'd see at Wallmart in their jammies. It's basic human psychology... People like to watch the pretty people.

You love to see the "all movies and shows should be the same thing" argument. That's definitely what would improve quality.

I think we're going to get both. Anchorage will come in and declare mass hysteria/hallucination due to contaminated ground water (a la Salem, Mass), but the townsfolk will all know/believe that the spirits were moving through all of this.

There will be no resolution.
