Just got around to watching this how over the last few days and the thread title is dead wrong. It was good. Better than Doom Patrol, which had some pretty good episodes and some pretty bad episodes. Not perfect, not the best show I've ever seen, not even particularly unique or memorable, but good and worth watching. I'll certainly watch the second season.

I dont see how I am supposed to sympathies with a couple of torturing murderers.

You're not? "Not really the villains" doesn't mean they're the heroes.

its the goofy stuff like the talking monkey contrasted with super serious drama queen characters like diego.

It's about super heroes. That is what every super hero story is like.

Yeah I totally enjoyed it but like EVERY SINGLE NETFLIX SHOW except Russian Doll, its like 5 episodes too long. Why do they do this? It costs them more money to make more episodes!

Every American show, whether on conventional television or streaming, is too long. They always have to drag the story out or burn through episodes too quickly. This is not a new phenomenon, it has always been the case. People are only now starting to realise it.

having no story at all

Every character has a clear and distinct story and they all overlap and interact with each other. :confused:

i could get really granular with you on this and argue about how the characters took higher priority than even having any kind of grand overarching narrative

That's a good thing though. :shrug:

the shortcomings of the terrible timecop intrigue we were given instead of a real story

What makes something a "real" story?

scary ghost dog posted:

but instead im just going to ask you what luther�s clear and distinct character arc was.

Basically just realising that he has to take some responsibility for his own life and stop just trying to be what other people think he is or should be. But if your point is that his story got less focus than the others then yes, it did. :shrug:
