I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I'm bracing for dissapointment.

Why? I feel like people are looking for reasons to be disappointed with that show. It's bizarre.

Because every popular show gets milked to death and executives start interjecting stupid ideas and ruin it. They already had a filler episode in season 2.

His glasses look like those novelty ones with the eyes printed on them.

I always say a show should only run 5 seasons at most, and if it's very popular to just do the occasional mini series.

Except sg1 right? :)

[-] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

SG1 only ran 5 seasons, season 3 through season 7. Nothing else was real. Just a bad dream.

All for it. I rarely find a show beyond sitcom type comedies that isn't dissapointing by season 4. 3 seasons of a good show keeps me simultaneously wanting more but also secretly glad that that's how I'm left feeling. Feel the same way with a really good course at a restaurant.

Honestly, it outstayed it's welcome in the final episode of the first season for me.

I don't know sense the fuck the producers have against the story, but fucking or off that far was a waste. They could have just made up their own show and not wasted the money getting the title from Ennis, if they were going to fuck with the core motivation of a central character like that.

Edit:

I have no fucking clue why everyone is all het up and nasty about this I'm not saying people can't enjoy the show, I'm just expressing my opinion, and for some reason people are acting very unpleasant for lemmy.

It's disappointing considering I was very recently arguing that lemmy is unusually respectful of differing opinions. I'm not sure if it's this community that's being hit with unusual incivility, if it's the influx of reddit users not getting that we can be decent to each other while disagreeing, or what.

But, people, remember the human.
