  • Just finished watching Marcella and I was so bored by season 3.

    Season 1 and 2 are pretty great whodunit mysteries with many twists and turns to keep you guessing. Some super dark stuff thrown in there too and got me emotional on a couple of occasions.

    Season 3 feels like a terrible spinoff where not only is there no real mystery, you’ll dislike all the characters, including the 2 main returning character. It feels like an 8 episode single episode. You could probably watch the first and last episode and not really miss anything.


  • Honestly, how is it still going? I watched the first couple of seasons and it was already being held up entirely by James Spader, with everything around him being sort of bearable.

    Fun fact, my wife and I now use the term “Blacklisting” for whenever a show has already explicitly revealed something to you (or made it so obvious you worked it out), but then there’s a scene where the main characters stand around and talk through that plot point in ELI5 language. That was like at least a third of the screen time.
