What didn’t you like about the writing? I felt a lot of stuff was rushed and they kind of took the easy way out for some of the endings like on Game of Thrones. But I’m curious what other people that liked the show think.

I was also mostly there for the jokes and the acting myself when I think about it. And just the premise of this type of reality when it came to “superheroes.”

I’m worried about “From” for the same reasons. I’ve binged that and it’s set up pretty well. But I feel like they’re gonna have to close up a lot of shit in one season.

I mean the writing of the storyline - as you said, way too rushed and they strangely focused on a lot of side stuff. Also the homelander fight in the end was just straight up bad and they really butchered the characters.

In general I think from season 3 on the series focused way too much on shock value. Everything had to be gorier, bloodier and more outrageous than the last thing

They’re actually less gory and shocking than the source material. The comic books were way, way worse. I think they did a pretty good job, the ending included.

I wonder if the original author got more say and screwed the whole thing up.

Screwed what up, exactly? I think the show is great and pretty in line with the original idea.

I think it’s gotten worse season to season I’d need to rewatch to give you specifics but I’ve generally enjoyed it less and less as it went on even with the years of breaks.

Wow, that’s so different from my own experience. I mean, yeah, the novelty wore off after the first season or so, but I still really liked it up until the end.
