So I finished Umbrella Academy last night. Oh man what a disappointment. After 5 and a half episodes it was left to the final 20 minutes to explain the problem and to wrap everything up. What a dumpster fire. I mean it was never the best show, but that ending just sucked hard.

I have up halfway through S2. Glad I didn't continue any further.

S2 was the 1950s one yeah? yeeeeah yikes that was a mess. Clearly written before Elliot came out as male as well, that didnt help the awkwardness.

Yeah that was the back in time one. It had promise but was going everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I couldn't care enough to pay attention anymore.

but was going everywhere and nowhere at the same time

if you summarized the whole series as just this it'd be the most accurate description of a show since "Lost didnt make a ton of sense".

I noticed a recent (to me at least) trend where writers introduce something cool, go a little with it, and then jump onto something else that's also cool and repeat.

Could be due to the volatile nature of streaming services canning shows after a season with no resolution or ending.

Whatever it is, it's a shitty trend.

This has nothing to do with Resident Evil does it?

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

I also think it went to shit. The series started off so promising
