Would have been nice if they hadn’t killed all their good will by bricking the ever-living hell out of season 3.

Maybe there was a gas leak and everyone hallucinated season three?

I prefer that explanation to one where I have to confront the reality where that musical number in the finale actually happened.

Rewatched episode three of Last of Us. It’s for sure in top 10 best episodes of tv all time.

I really want to like Industry, but it just is not good. The writing is terrible.

Tulsa King is an objectively dumb and bad show, but I still enjoy it. Season 2 starts next month!

Lost should stop being greedy and just be thankful that viewers haven’t launched a class-action suit against them for fraud for pretending that they had any ideas in mind at all when the pilot full of mystery boxes was released.

I thought they were at least improvising in a clever way through the last season, but then they abandoned the split reality caused by Juliet’s sacrifice. I remember reading that they switched the plan halfway through the final season, so it’s no wonder it felt like the eventual finale came out of left field.

I mean I don’t really know how the final season went, I finally put a stop to my voluntary participation in the defrauding of myself at some point during season three when it became super obvious that the emperor had no clothes. So I can’t say I’m in the group that picks on the Lost finale.

Never watched an episode of Lost, I think that’s by far my biggest TV avoid. Maybe I’ll change that with this Netflix addition.

It’s a show that would have benefited massively n today 10 ep season world instead of the network 24 eps it was produced in.

It resulted in a lot of fluff and crap to wade though to get the really great stuff but there is a ton of really great stuff.

Lost is a good show, but there’s a lot of nonsense. Like whatever happened to Walt? And why they gotta do Jin and Sun like that?

I agree it’s not ā€œgoodā€ exactly, but it’s perfectly enjoyable pulp imo. I will say that this season it seems to be taking itself more seriously than in the past, which is not a positive development. But I’ll still watch.

I would definitely watch it. The first season is so fucking good. The season finale is still one of the GOATs.

Some weak moments in season 2 first half, but then it becomes an all time banger again.

Season 3 is AMAZING. Goddamn that twist in the finale blew my mind.

Season 4 is where I started going okay now hold on a second lol.

If you do watch it, just be aware of how pointless it is to guess early on what they’re pointing toward because they didn’t know either.

It should also be noted that the show features a primary protagonist, Jack, who has all the personality and magnetism of a soggy piece of toast.
