Dam you nailed my exact thought on the last season. Told the wife could have watched episode 1 of last season and started episode 9 and would have been in the same exact spot because the plot never moved in between.

I fast forwarded through at least 30% of season 4 and didn't miss a thing. That was a tough one to get through.

This is what I remember from this show. I think season 2 was the last season I watched. Literally nothing happens or progresses for like 6 episodes. I will give it another go when it comes out on Netflix. I do remember really liking season 1.

I may try to pick up where i left off some time ago. I watched into the 2nd season i think. But, I wasn't going to pay for yet another streaming service to continue watching.

Smart move to release it on Netflix and get everyone hooked so they have to subscribe to MGM+ for the final season.

It’s not really a Surf Dracula. Surf Dracula is when you go into a show, typically like a prequel or origins type concept, and a specific character is known to turn into something eventually, and the writers spend forever building up to a moment to reveal the thing you knew before you even watched it or from the first episode.

from is just is high on the mystery of what is pulling the strings and what everything means, and is excruciatingly slow to tell you at times.


Also they use a lot of plot convinces to stop any info from actually getting clarified. Later in the show it makes more sense that people don’t talk about what they see but the early seasons love exposing a huge twist or event to 1 or a few characters and those characters decide they shouldn’t tell anyone about what they saw - they probably could’ve had this shite figured out in a couple days if they made a community board of things people witnessed

frick him. Watch it and decide for yourself.

As usual, when people complain about "nothing ever happens," there is usually a good bit of shite that happens, it's just not what they wanted to happen. This show falls into that category for the most part.

FWIW, I am one of the biggest fans of the show, and even I won't argue that it isn't slow at times. But that isn't the same thing as nothing ever happening. Things just advance at different speeds on the show. And they have a chance to nail the landing with this final season and wrap it up really well. If they don't, then I'm ready and willing to bitch about it and say that they fricked up.

Just finished Season 2. Not sure how I feel about it. Very slow, the characters are stupid and don't talk to each other. Some parts are good/interesting.

What was the point of Fatima randomly kissing that girl in season 1. Never saw her again

We're almost done with S1.

So far it feels like a weird mix of Lost, Walking Dead, and maybe a little bit of Fringe.

The comparison to Lost for me is the two camps, no one can figure out how to escape, and weird things happening in the woods. No there isn't a smoke monster, but definitely some paranormal activity going on.

Walking Dead is obvious, you've got some sort of Zombie like creature. Main difference is that these, at least so far from what I've watched, can't be killed. At least in Walking Dead they figured out headshots early on.

I’m on episode 8 of Season 1. With the electricity being there, and the random animals that they can use, it almost feels like the creatures built the humans a habitat that they can use until they are hunted- sort of like a fox that’s fenced in until they run the dogs trying to catch it. IDK

I think we watched 8 and 9 last night. Starting to build the radio tower, and a couple episodes back they realized none of the plugs or insulation actually have metal wiring. Forgot to mention that in my previous post. Weird that they have electricity but no actual wiring seems to be carrying it.

Okay, finished Episode 1 of Season 2- and I've got to say, this is REALLY going down the LOST path for me. Someone help me out here: if this is how it's going to continue (brand new questions- the chained up guy, the music box, the "things: under the skin- with NO answers to previous questions) please tell me now. I think I'll dip out if that's the case.

I love this show, but this was always one of my biggest gripes with it...especially in the first couple of seasons.

I mean shite, they would even have town meeting sort of things and not tell anybody anything important.

It was interesting at first. Not so much anymore becasue of this formula.

The acting and character development isn't strong enough to hold this one down.

Light spoiler thing - a more season 4 thing I noticed was a bigger reluctance to kill off major characters compared to earlier seasons. There’s one part where they randomly introduce some other townspeople into the plot randomly and then kill just them right after but leave the main crew with them untouched

Reminded me of the 2016 suicide squad where they spend an hour introducing every character and then when the first mission started, they randomly introduce another guy and kill him off within 2 minutes to show “stakes”

I think that added to S4 feeling really dragged out.
