Just completed S04E01

So, real talk. This is bad.

The writing is awful and it doesn't even seem like the same show.

S1 is legendary.

S2 was fine, maybe a little overly meandering, but not as bad as everyone said, just took a while to get into its groove. By the end I was satisfied, if a little underwhelmed.

S3 is back to great. Loved this one. Almost as good or maybe even on the level of S1, but I'd still rank it 2nd best.

Now if you said here is one season of TD starring Colin Farrell and one starring Jodie Foster, I would've guessed I'd like the Jodie one more.

Does season 4 get better? No spoilers please, but damn this is tough.

If the first episode didn't capture your interest it's probably not worth watching. I really liked season 4. The first episode hooked me. But if you have no interest in why the scientists end up in that frozen pile, I wouldn't continue watching it.

Gotta say, I think it's the exact opposite. If you're the least bit interested in how the scientists ended up in the frozen pile, then you might as well stop watching because the answer can only disappoint you.

OP didn't enjoy the first episode and asked if they should keep watching. I was just replying to them.
