Yes. I hadn't analysed it as deeply as this, just a general "Meh, I want this to be better," but you're hitting a lot of the things that are disappointing me and making me seriously think I'm quitting the show.

I wanted to like this show, I gave it every chance. And it can pull good episodes out the bag - the acting talent is good, the writing talent is good when they ignore the formula. But the formula is horribly broken somewhere IMO.

TV comedy, particularly UK TV comedy but to a lesser extent US TV comedy is about broken people or relationships. Evie adds "I'm a dork' to what is otherwise a pretty successful looking life, and Xavier adds being a narcissist with poor impulse control - he does what he thinks is right but if he's really out of line…

The problem with this show is that I don't mind watching it but I don't exert myself to. It aired, what 3 days ago and I've only just watched it now…

Flynn's from the future? Or he's met someone from the future like a future Lucy who's trying to kick present Lucy into line?

I'm nicely surprised by this show every week. It looked like it was going to be really fluffy rom com and I wasn't sure about that for a serialised show. But even though it does have the rom and com elements they have nice enough chunks of relationship stuff that basically works and makes it not totally fluffy.

I think you can argue, quite successfully, that the writers see everyone except the main antagonist of the time (be that Cottonmouth or Diamondback or very occasionally Mariah in this case) as a plot device for their protagonist.

I assumed he was a host but with different programming. And Ford's messing with the programming has spread to him. But it is ambiguous, his buddy could be being a jobsworth.

The trouble is, for the first half of the season, before he actually appears, they set him up as this seemingly competent, deadly supplier of money and guns.

Different people have different levels of squick and guard. While I didn't find anything wrong with it, I don't think there's any reason you should be worried your guard is too high.

I think the sexual politics could have been really bad but, to my mind, they played the emotional journeys of the two of them in opposite directions nicely. I enjoyed it pushing against the stereotypes where it's the man that wants to have multiple partners and the woman is left miserable. I particularly enjoyed the…

I tend to agree. In Dexter (where the Ice Truck Killer - aka the big bad - was also Dexter's brother) we cared about Dexter and who the big bad was (if we cared about Dexter) and the fact he was Dexter's brother added explanation about why he was in Miami and taunting Dexter. It also added to Dexter and his lack of…

Diamondback, as we saw him, was much better when we didn't see him if you follow me. As Shades' boss and someone Cottonmouth was scared of, he was a great villain. When he first appeared and took out the various gang bosses he was still good. But he went downhill every time we saw him after that.

If they're working together, go out for a drink, tell them in the present day when he's not recording them.

He could still be a host with some smart programming. He had a sheriff's badge on, so he's looking for a missing girl, as he said, but backs off when it appears she's not missing so not the right girl.

While I agree people across the world do things that are against their own best interests, the specifics of that one seemed particularly crazy.

Not sure Jessica Jones had an opinion that all men are bad. Luke wasn't presented as bad unless he was mind controlled for one, and several other people, both male and female, acted drastically out of character when mind-controlled.

I preferred DD season 2 to Luke Cage (no spoilers but I just finished watching it yesterday) although the good episodes of Luke Cage were better the average was worse IMO.

This is part of the problem, for me, with this show. I'm not American and I didn't know that's how it went in the US so I was looking at it and going WTF?

I don't look forward to seeing Mariah in the same way, but I think I'd enjoy a Misty v Mariah spinoff.
