    Just finished season 1 and I was seriously underwhelmed. It’s well done and all, but the story is extremely incoherent and ultimately pointless.

        People are allowed to have different opinions than you… I also was underwhelmed by the show. Lots of people don’t like super popular shows.

        No, I had zero expectations as I had never played the game and knew nothing about it other than what the name already implied.

        If I feel like I’m not going to like something, I don’t waste my time confirming that.

        For instance I went into The Last of Us with equally zero expectations and also only knowing that it was based on a popular game, and it was the best series of 2023 I’ve watched.

        Writing seems to be the weak point in all of movies and television these days.

          Not quite ALL, but a lot of it, yeah. I think probably there’s a greater societal tolerance for bad writing as opposed to other parts of film/tv production. Lots of people just don’t even recognize when the writing is bad.

        POCNOT, please. If you want to get the acronym right.

        I still don’t agree, but that’s your call.

          WTF acronym are you talking about? I’ve encountered the PICNIC variant of PEBKAC a few times, but never POCNOT. DDG was unhelpful in this regard.
