    I’m just fed up with the quantum quantum parallel universe BS. Dark Matter looks a little bit more enjoyable at the moment, but definitely in precarious balance.

    Apple TV+ have some pretty solid Sci Fi shows, but I’ve been disappointed more than once lately. I have a lot of hope for season 2 of Severance, and a fair amount of apprehension TBH.

    PS: Did you watch Sugar? That thing was totally unexpected, but I’m not quite sure if it was in a good way, or a bad way, or a meh way.

      I like the premise of parallel universes (the road not taken), but the pacing of Dark Matter is why I gave up on it. Its just slow to get to the point, no filler just padding the moments to get the episode to a 45-50 min runtime.

        agreed, i mean i’m still interested, but you gotta hook me, DM didn’t, it was a slog, and I’ve been through too many of those to invest in an another AU wizard trip unentertained, which is why i made it to 1/2 of ep 2, but will go no further

      Yeah, I was appreciating Sugar as some sort of modern edgy “Magnun PI”, and I was looking forward to it, but that twist changes everything. I hope they do it justice, because the show it was heading for would have been good

        You kinda spoiled it for everyone who didn’t watch the show yet though. Could you edit your comment a bit please? Thanks.

        That was me with war movies 10 years ago. Then zombie movies 5 years ago. And super-hero movies today.
