As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

HBO Max.

Have watched only the pilot so far.

A series that reminded me sorta of Umbrella Academy. DC universe, the first ep was origin stories of the four misfits in this therapy home for broken "metahumans.". It set up the villain... Who is also the self-aware narrator. Some big names in this, timothy dalton, alan tudyk, brendan fraser.

Also boobs, sex, and f-bombs.

So far Im digging it and looking forward to ep2. I think I saw three seasons done, already.

2 seasons exist; renewed for a third it looks like.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Robot guy (Brendan Fraser) has a lot of lines and I think the most frequent one is "... the FUCK?" Def his catch phrase.

1. Shit, season 2 ends on a double cliffhanger.

2. Season 3 is filming now.

3. Season 1 had a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

4. VERY character driven, and also some of the craziest, weird shit I've ever seen on TV.

Casting for season 3. I recognize none of this stuff, but the insanity of it sounds in line with the first two seasons.

Hmmm.

Season 2: Hey, let's set up this massive apocalyptic ending cliffhanger.

Ten minutes into season 3: "Hey, apologize and undo all this." "Ok, sorry." All done and then we move on.

I guess they couldn't figure out where to take it.

Season 3 has featured the "Sisterhood of DaDa," and it's been kinda weird, but so far this season is boring me.

I heard S4 already approved.

Season 3 did bore me. "Oh look we're the sisterhood of dada and we're so random." Yawn.

But season 4, the last, actually has me fast forwarding through some parts, it's so fucking boring. You can only have the same conversation about your feelings for the other person, and your regrets, like 50 times before it becomes tedious. I'm literally hate watching at this point just to get to the end.

Finished it. It's all just a big bummer. Skip it.
