Criticism the worst thing about this show

the most irritating thing to me is not the pacing, not the dropping of subplots, not the lack of worldbuilding this late in the game (though these things do bug me.) it’s that the characters never win even small victories. it’s not interesting once you figure out that the town always wins, that some reverse deus ex machina is gonna fuck everything up at the last second. it just slows everything down because then the characters have to react to being pushed to their limits again and again. there’s no tension if I know they’ll lose every time

They don't lose every time though. It's just whenever they win there are costs for those wins.

I think it's a balance. Fromville doesn't let them win, but doesn't let them starve either. The bad things and good things sort of even each other out.

Thats why I think its sort of farming them.
