Oh guys.. I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree more, my kids are gonna be 6 years old next month, I started watching that first season about 3 month after their birth and I just finished it in June of 2020. That's how long it took me to be able to get myself to watch bits and pieces of it every time. And the viewing was really spread across 6 years, it's not like at any point I watched two episodes in the same month
, actually I remember that only the first two episodes I watched in one sit down.
I always went in with the intention though, but always ended up quitting 10 or 15 minutes thinking "this is too fuckin stupid!" and shit; I can tolerate
some stupid if it's a spectacle with colorful characters and fast pace but it had none of these things!
It felt like the show kept insisting "hey this is scary, but it's also very emotional" and I go "nope, it's neither" heh
And since you mentioned Jessica Lange; my fuckin God! That woman is only capable of two very similar expressions: 1- To look like she's about to cry but staying strong. 2- To look like she just cried off-screen and now she's strong. This is all she does, ALL the time!
The mom is annoying, the teenage daughter is annoying, the ghosts are annoying, and I love Quicksilver! But even he got annoying real fast. Everything in this season seems to have been designed to appeal to angsty teenagers.
Obvious question is why I kept watching, I did it cause at the time when I started; people were singing praises of the current season that was on, second or third season I'm not sure and I just wanted to start from the beginning.
I
genuinely apologize, I never rain on parades like that, I usually keep my mouth shut, but this show specifically gets under my skin. And not in a good way.
