Shablagoo 08/06/21 11:37:18 PM #1:	I saw an ad for Season 4 right now. Idk what it is, I think its just too depressing. Like every episode its just youre trapped in a nightmare, same as last episode. Its the kind of premise where if it were a horror movie, Elisabeth Moss character would spend the third act getting revenge on all the monsters who had wronged her, and probably liberating some of her friends along the way. But because its a show it never gets to that act. I did manage to make it through season 1, and I assume it starts to get more hopeful at some point, which makes it ironic that I stopped where I did. --- "If you wanna grow your business you need to exploit more." ~Austin_Era_II "Out of those two?

MorbidFaithless 08/06/21 11:42:57 PM #3:	I stopped at season 1 as well for pretty much all the same reasons. Why I don't care for The Walking Dead. Misery porn is not for me. I get there are moments of triumph and love but that general tone really brings me down. --- walk like thunder <cite>MorbidFaithless posted [p:956853622] in I just can...

ShyOx 08/06/21 11:44:59 PM #4:	Its visually really boring. It doesnt look like any kind of dystopia or future setting, and the cinematography is awful S1. They have like 8 shots of Moss sitting in that window in the first episode, and the opening of the show was so predictable. Most exciting thing in the first six episodes is a scrabble game. --- http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6938/vyqp.jpg DIPLOMACY <cite>ShyOx posted [p:956853662] in I just can...

Airhammy 08/06/21 11:45:39 PM #6:	I love the show. The S4 finale was really good. Curious to see where it goes from here. It can be odd to watch sometimes since Elisabeth Moss is a Scientologist, and from I recall from interviews doesn't see a connection between her character, and her "religion". --- http://air-hammer.deviantart.com/ <cite>Airhammy posted [p:956853680] in I just can...
