They are trying to do way too many things in 6 episodes. It’s fucking ridiculous how many different characters and plot lines there are. It’s just poorly done



That is beyond insulting to s2 it is so much better than this nonsense. That shit was bleak but was actually good


I didn't like s2 at all tbh. Half the casting was horrible and the other half great.

Can't stand Vince Vaughn and Kelly Reilly

Fairly underwhelming season. Too bad. So many plot holes and shoehorned references to S1...

Assuming they didn't go with the unreliable narrator angle, since they actually showed us the flashbacks:
- Why did no one find the truck tire tracks leading away from the frozen scientist clothes? The clothes were not covered with excessive snow when found, so the tracks would have been visible too.
- Clark's story, also with accompanying flashbacks, of what happened to Annie K., did not line up with her screaming in the ice caves. In the phone video she is describing what she found, when she then sees something and starts screaming profusely.
- Why would all these highly educated rational scientists all resort to animalistically stab Annie K, just because 1 of them lost his shit and started? Wat
- There was no mention of strangulation of Annie K., during the autopsy, but the flashback clearly shows this took place (possibly as the final act to kill her). And on that note, said autopsy did mention bruising from kicks, but we didn't see any of that.

You could, of course, chalk this up to people not being of a sound mind, with the influences of the pollution/eldritch gods etc etc, but honestly, that's just shit writing.

Very disappointing

Also every forced s1 reference drops the quality of this season by 20% it’s disgraceful to even acknowledge it’s the same show

absolute pandering shart show with terrible dialogue and unbelievable characters. the bad writing leads to poor acting.

s1 is pinnacle of television.

s2-3 are comparable to each other but a fraction of s1 flavor. still decent and have redeeming cool scenes/ideas. been a while but i remember not liking characters in s2.. and s3 had slow times

s4 is frozen dog dookie.

imo it goes 1, 3, 2, -, -, 4

Season 2 was good to me. I enjoyed it. Season 1 was GOAT.

Agreed. Season 4 isn’t even in the same league as the rest though it’s a disgrace to the name
