This series has a tremendous pacing problem. It took its entire six episode run time to to get nowhere. It should have been eight episodes with the current six condensed into four.

It's rated at 7.4 / 10 by critics, it's just that no one (out of 7) rated it Rotten

Relax my dude, these ratings don't really mean much. It's effectively a large binary aggregation of more nuanced ratings. Also, TV in general gets much higher RT scores because the smaller shows don't get a lot of coverage so you have (like this show) 12 reviewers who thought the show was at least fine, a 3/5 if you will, which when you look at the detailed rating aggregate, it got a 7.1/10

This is why rotten tomatoes has the certified fresh indicator, meaning it met the minimum 50 reviewers and has a 60 or above average. 100% with certified. Then it's actually a masterpiece. Anything else is too small a sample size.

I do agree, the pacing is very bad.

Personally, I have to start giving-up earlier on those series where the first couple of episodes don't go anywhere. But I always keep hoping it improves.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
