AtariLegend Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 How big of a show is this on the other side of the Atlantic? I just finished season 3 (Disney + in the UK) and I have to say, I don't think it's exactly prestige TV. I like the show-ish, it's well filmed and has a good cast. However the season felt like mostly filler/stalling (70% flashbacks) to prevent advancing the plot with celebrity cameos to distract from the fact that nothing's really happening. The giving birth episode, felt like a novel idea to create another Fishes episode like last season. It felt like it was designed to do well with critics and win some awards, but the fact is - it's still an episode where nothing happens and is too gimmicky imo. I guess this is just the shows formulas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Dude, Season 3 was the most pretentious, full- of- itself, load of crap I have seen in a long while. ”It insists upon itself” -Peter Griffin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I really enjoyed the Tina episode and Ice Chips, but the rest of the season was a bit of a drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I only watched the first season. It's just so busy and people screaming at each other. Stressed me out so much I couldn't enjoy it. It's not for me, I don't get the fuss at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know as the show went on, my feeling was the biggest suspension of disbelieve in the show I could never bring myself to - Why Carmen didn't just fire 1/2 staff? Like if you fire Richie, that's 50% of the arguments prevented on it's own. It's also unclear to me what exactly Sydney does other than spending her time wondering if she should quit her job. Also this I learned recently - apparently the show is part comedy. WOT? Edited August 17 by AtariLegend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuld Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Season 1 was good. Season 2 was a masterpiece. Season 3 sucked so bad I can’t believe it is even the same show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
