It’s a perfect encapsulation of the laziness

I’m afraid not

so critics just gassed this up cuz women made it?

No lie bro... I think that’s exactly what happened. But I feel misogynistic for thinking that.

But the front loaded “it’s a masterpiece” reviews for a couple things that have turned out absurdly bad have been a little too frequent to not notice lately. Tryna force people to believe the product is good so they can recoup as much money from s*** they know is going to fail. Put on your tin hats boys and girls cuz there are definitely some critics out there getting paid off

Would hardly be the first time it's happened the last 7-8 years tbh. It's also telling whenever people have criticized female characters or writing or directing done by a woman, they always get labelled as sexist. All this really reinforces to me how critics are completely worthless.

Ding ding ding
They’ve been bought

Ya your first mistake is ever listening to critics

dis ai? 😭😭

nah L the previous season was amazing

The tongue can be from a previous crime committed by one of the men.
It's still plausible to guess what happened in the scenario regarding the men.

literally nit-picking and half of the s*** yall are bringing up is a non-issue lmao

I'd rather divert the criticism to the fact that some of the characters are far too shallow and are already predictable tropes (Hank, for instance) & IMO E2 dragged for too long cause it focused on these interpersonal relationships that haven't been really made interesting by the showrunners (for instance, the scene between Hank's son and Danver's step-daughter or whatever she is to her, instead of being an emotional examination of familial trauma or whatever, just ended up being boring tbh - I really don't care for either of the characters). Not to f***ing AI or sound editing, which really isn't as bad as half of twitter or this thread is making out to be.

The case is interesting and I actually like the horror/spooky call-backs to S1.

It's the drama part that's actually lacking for me, so far.

Also, S3 was great, y'all are tripping on that, also.

When the scene's objective is to watch the two detectives logically breakdown what happened- that's what they should do. They did not achieve that. It was a cool exercise otherwise. I like the recurring "ask a different question" bit.

But by all means, anyone smart enough to say "the characters are shallow" and "the drama is lacking" should dictate who gets to criticize what. The floor is yours, Ebert

Nice ad hominem, mate.
I'm not dictating you s***, I'm just pointing out that your criticism doesn't make any f***ing sense - from Danver's POV in that moment - they can be viewed as two different cases with 2 different perpetrators so it's very plausible to guess what happened to the men, regardless of the tongue.
But, you do you.

i think they already mentioned that...who that tongue belongs

suddenly I get the criticism after reading the thread and finding out its only 6 eps. about to lock in now and watch ep 2.

those early reviews set my expectations way too high, they made it out like it was gonna be the show of the year. it’s tough because I went in with an open mind wanting to like it but there’s nothing to grab onto with this story :/

it comes off looking worse by having The Curse finale drop right before it & be an instant classic, this one just feels so lame & generic compared to other new releases

it feels sorta desperate & jarring whenever they connected it to stuff like rust’s dad, it doesn’t feel like they even take place in the same universe.

the direction choice to make that Carcosa/Yellow King stuff more opaque & implied in S1 felt way more eerie than all the blatant supernatural stuff they’re doing here, they’re really just banking on all the goodwill from that season

F***ing hell season 1 was so f***ing cool

That is about as far from a tin hat as you can get, man. More people need to realize that. It's a f***ing shame how blind the majority of people are

Like do people not think early screenings and s*** isn't compensation?

Teasing supernatural s*** up front is a massive mistake. Save that s*** for a big reveal

Who knew Mathew McConaughey spitting nonsense while Woody Harrelson looks on bamboozled made for such gripping television

Heavy hitters. Now we got Jodi Foster, who is a good pick, but also Kali Reis who seemingly has never acted before

it was lightning in a bottle once in a lifetime type show

wow so real maxx
