The Expanse but I'll try to give it another shot one day.
The first season shows 2 perspectives - detective in asteroid belt and some of the most bland, basic and incredibly uninteresting dude going somewhere. Just kept falling asleep during those scenes.
I heard the layer seasons are quite interesting so I hope to at least skim through it or read the books but tbh the first season feels like it ruined the world for me already.
Wheel of time just finished the latest season in the background and its fun just bad. I've tried reading the book before and it's pretty terrible nonsense too so my expectations were already quite low. I do find the main plot point of basically temu Buddhism and the Witcher cocktail very atractive but it's just so poorly executed. All characters are meaningless. The world has so many plot holes that the wheel might as well just stop rolling right there.
Carnival row - not sure if this counts but it really sucked past season 1. It felt like something was there but it was really ruined by poor writing and Cara Delevingne and her character are so incredibly bad it really ruined any chances the show might have had.
Same here on The Expanse. I hope to get back to it someday because my friends say it gets better.
Wish you and me luck then as I've been dodging spoilers for years now in hopes of getting this done eventually lol
Ha, yeah! I had to practically go into hiding to get through Severance without hearing hints from coworkers/internet/friends. Expanse hasn't been quite as challenging :fingerscrossed:
I enjoyed season 1, but it took me so many attempts to watch it and explainer videos.
I'll try season 2 eventually
Season 2 is a big step up imo
Season 1 was peak Covid and it shows
