While I liked the show overall, the season 1 plot should've been covered in like 4 episodes max.
It's not the 'slow burn' that Breaking bad and Better Call Saul had. They had a lot more going and had far more interesting characters. I will defend Season 1 of BCS to hell because I like the characters in the show and it's fun seeing them doing relatively normal stuff.
In pluribus, Carol is a dumbass. The hivemind is not interesting at all and the rest of the survivors are props. Manousos is the only sane character in the show and I can get behind my man but he had way fewer scenes.
The plot just goes around in circles until the season just ends with nothing happening. The next season is also like 2 years away at least so the hype will go down because unlike Severance, this is dogshit.
I don't know how vince will make 4 seasons of this slop. Unless they somehow multiply the survivor count by like a thousand it will remain mostly boring.
On the positive note, the actors are amazing. Rhea Seehorn is great and I love how different Carol is from Kim Wexler that I don't even notice it.
People will have to break free to make the show more interesting. Zosia breaking free could be really interesting, because then the character that Carol somehow had an intimate bond with will not even remember her, not even able to speak English.
Why wouldnt she remember being part of the entity? She,d be herself again, but even while part of the entity she has memories from before.
That's a good point, I guess we don't know how memories are handled. Like, if someone comes out will they have every memory still, even mundane stuff like the location of every bag of doritos. I was just under the assumption they would come out with amnesia, but that's maybe not the case. I guess we will see
