Either I am watching a different show or everyone's expectations had become so low after the beginning that any glimmer of hope gets way overrated.

I totally agree. I thought episode 5 was okay but all of the other episodes have been painstakingly boring.

VV's storyline is the weakest. I don't care about Ani and her dad. Colin Farrell is using some lame and unconvincing voice that makes him sound constipated every time he talks. Woodrugh was boring as hell.

I don't care about any of the plot narratives. They should have had some episodes with Casper alive so that we gave a shite about who killed him. The orphan thing is so unappealing to me. Stan had like 2 minutes of screen time and we're supposed to care about his death.

Bad writing and bad acting and just a poor story told in a clunky and incredibly boring way.

If people like it, good for them, but I do think that there is still a lot of cognitive dissonance going on with this show.
