    I'm not the one who watches a show I dislike weekly just so I can tell everyone how much I dislike it

    We clearly liked the show dumbass We just don't like the direction it's currently going and are voicing our opinions

    I'd imagine he enjoyed season 1 too

    Y’all are asking a lot of questions about the “how did X get to Y” and “why does Y do this” and I’m genuinely curious what’s accomplished by spelling out every single aspect of a mystery?

    Like sure these are valid things to want to know but I don’t this show is interested in that. This is far closer to a Twin Peaks approach (I’m not comparing them) where you have to use details to unlock answers, and then more questions appear. They’re gonna just double down on this in S3 cus they’re confident in the audience

    For example, they’re def done lingering on Cold Harbor specifically. They didn’t need to explicitly tell us, they showed us what we needed

    This was a really good finale

    I feel bad for Gemma

    How the hell is she gonna get Mark out now that the innies are probably taking over

    I don’t think they can stay down there forever. Who knows what will happen if innie Mark tries to sleep down there for example

    Mark and Hellys innies have evened the power balance a bit (especially since Jame prefers Helly to Helena) but they have to leave at some point. I don’t think Gemma’s escape is simple either.

    the marching band was a little too ridiculous for my taste but whatever. kinda felt like they were trying to recreate the dance scene from s1 and then helly getting them to turn with a pretty short plea felt like a very quick resolution

    i don't agree with a lot of the complaints i've read over this season but i do think the seams are starting to show ever so slightly. however i think that just comes with the territory of a thriller/mystery show and it also doesn't help that people are now going over every episode with a fine tooth comb so they can feel like they're ahead of the mystery

    personally i'd like to see it wrapped up in a 11-13 episode s3

  • I didn't like the finale and the second season kind of fell flat for me. Started off good but there wasn't satisfying payoffs to a lot of the stuff.

    The editing and production quality was A++ as always.

  • Guys…it’s only season 2. There’s potential for the show to answer a lot more questions.

    I will say, a show like this, it’s hard to land the plane on because it’s very ambitious. Could end up like how “Lost” ended up.

  • Biggest flaw to me was what the hell was the point of reintegrating as of right now? Maybe season 3 will carry it forward but as it stands that was the only glaring thing for me that doesn’t make any sense and didn’t lead to anything good or bad. Did the reintegration just cease to exist?

    100%. Can't fathom people still agonising over the need for an in world scientific explanation of cold harbor beyond what they said in the show. the entire gemma plot line is actually a great example of how people over theories to insane ends and then the actual answers are pretty obvious all along.

    I think the show is pretty intentional in what it wants the audience to know. Lumon is intentionally mysterious and lacking in obvious corpo structure beyond a few people. It's cult like and those involve wholeheartedly believe in it and how it works and has worked to date. I think people expecting a thorough dissection of anything beyond that are going to be disappointed.

    And fwiw this is good! It is the least cynical approach ever!!

    Mystery is cool but I feel like this show is gonna end up like Lost where they don't end up answering a lot of the mysteries or edge us for a lackluster reveal

    So it’ll end up as one of the greatest shows ever made.

  • Mar 22, 2025

    I said this weeks ago but it feels especially resonant after this finale: if you’re watching this show purely for answers to the mysteries, just stop now. Because I can tell you right now this show isn’t for you. This is not one of those stupid mystery box shows like Westworld whose characters are treated like hollow pieces on a chess board, they’re real. They’re complex. They’re actually written like characters, with feelings and thoughts and ideals.

    This finale was all the confirmation you need that this show cares more about the emotional complexities of its characters and its core themes than it does answering the many mysteries of Lumon. You will probably never get a definitive answer on what cold harbor actually is beyond just hints and assumptions, because the answer was never the most important part.

    They should've held off the rescue of Gemma and made it more clever when it's finally done. This just made Lumon look really incompetent and I don't take them seriously anymore. Wouldn't even be surprised if whoever Reghabi works for ends up being the final villain at this rate

    Lumon really coming off like a mom and pops business lol, thry never even replaced their ONE security guard after he got killed
