HBO made a series based on the 70s movie and it was amazing. Had a really strong cast too, but then Discovery went on their hatchet spree and killed it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lime@feddit.nu 11 points 1 year ago (2 children) i felt like it fell in quality pretty heavily once it got past like 75% of s2. were people still watching it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ramble81@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I definitely was and it only got better imo. It felt like people got too invested in the “western in the park fantasy” part when really it was telling a larger story between the struggles of man, machine and the meaning of sentience on a global scale. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lime@feddit.nu 9 points 1 year ago i did find the struggle between man, machine and the meaning of sentience to be more engaging against the backdrop of western in the park. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago No, the figures dropped for later seasons.

And it genuinely feels like during the second season, the showrunners were more focused on outsmarting the fans than writing a coherent and properly paced story. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago Hate shit like this. Same thing happened with Lost. Just focus on making a good story, then if people figure it out ahead of time… so what?

Is there a particular post where this was discussed? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I don't know if the story was intended to be different. I'm just saying that's how it felt to me while watching it. And I guess you can find many posts on reddit discussing the decline in quality from various angles. permalink fedilink source parent
