No More, More, More ? What's wrong with you people?

The first half of season two had enough good bits to keep going on, if it's the sort of universe that grabs you. The second half, though, has just plummeted off a balcony.

Really? A redemption arc for a character this awful?

Curtis still seems to be trying, even if he's unable to save the role.

No reason she should be. The show has only been terrible since the middle of season two. Before that it had numerous things going for it even if it was deeply flawed.

Because the first half of season two had promise and its best actors were at least being regularly featured, plus the actor playing Celia. So there was that. In short, you're coasting on a deadly combination of momentum and hope.

You were able to recognize them? Yet one more thing this show does terribly, as with the return of the Asian woman in the hostage exchange episode—it makes characters we don't have much reason to remember even more unmemorable.

Did Madison even tie dad's suicide to Nick, as in this being one more reason she worries for the son that doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with her… inherited suicidal tendencies? I ask because there's no way I'm going to take two minutes to run through that scene.

The rationale for killing him made little sense. So that he wouldn't turn into a walker if left to die, it seems, but they'd be leaving him with Travis, whom Chris would presumably assure them wouldn't let that happen. But no. False drama because real drama's just too hard, I guess.

The scene cried out for boring writers to have the character shout something innocuous but at least appropriate to the situation such as "I failed him," but they couldn't even mail that in without tripping over their own feet.

If they were more interesting flawed characters, it could work. But they are pretty loathsome and dull.

From what I understood however (but maybe I'm wrong since the show has
terrible sound and camera people who keep zoning out of actors faces and
voices when they talk and important lines are barely noticed)…

I assumed food was the issue but this pack of writers, of course, never made the reason remotely clear.

Botox, no? I mean, Kim Dickens in no way had a reputation as a bad actress, so this must be chemically-induced.

Also, I hate how Madison does something completely stupid and gets rewarded (while we get punished) by getting Travis back.

The first half was interesting, but it definitely lost some steam in the second half. Here are some of the more significant problems with character and narrative arcs, and this doesn't even account for some of the plain flaws that others have mentioned throughout these reviews and comments:

Nope. If anything, it's you who is disrespecting this country through your contrived resentment against peaceful, honorable protest.

Pfft, ye of little imagination.

Agreed. Democrats seem poised to run another corporate whore while smearing a potential progressive candidate who's an Army Major, served in Iraq, and actually looks like Wonder Woman.

I look forward both to Comey having tapes, and then to Comey leaking those tapes are Trump lies under oath.
