Did Jimmy wind up in Nebraska because of Kim? Either due to her returning ‘home’ after abandoning law practice in New Mexico or to lay her to rest there if she dies? I’m sure this has been speculated on since S5 when her background was first revealed, but I’m just getting around to asking.

Great review, hope to see more for Ep2 and Untucked!

The finale was more a denouement than a cliffhanger. As a continuation of Lexi’s play it made sense, but there was too much filler to make it compelling. There wasn’t that rousing production moment after the curtain call (making the school audience’s standing ovation seem bit self-aggrandizing).

The prominent emphasis on the use of outmoded office and personal tech at first felt distracting to the narrative and counterintuitive to the basic premise. But I suspect the entire town is actually a corporate built isolated exurb where all the local residents, unwittingly or not, are under Lumon’s grip. All the…

That’s only a week, why the impatience? We’ve gotten 3 episodes (including the two ep premier).

I was thinking the same thing and why Rue ultimately went hobbling home. I agree about the lack of race/gender being a critical issue, especially at the end.

Aren’t child locks still standard in cars? Because before they even entered the car I was thinking, “Oh s#!t, Leslie’s going to conveniently forget to enable the locks and all hell’s going to break loose.” I didn’t see the previews-trailers so while I was unprepared that’s exactly what happened I somehow knew…

Yeah, the chase scene’s visual metaphors about collateral damage actually broke the tension while deflecting from the disjointed last two story arcs concerning Laurie motivations and Rue’s memories.

It was a nice episode, but some of the story lines felt glossed over. I felt Beto was only introduced so they could have a child ring-bearer who’s traditionally part of the family. His happy-go-lucky attitude, considering he just lost his mother and his biological aunt dropped out of sight didn’t ring true. Beto never…

Obviously all the good parts of America fled to Canada!

As a Canadian that’s been living south of the border for decades it is irritating and tiresome to see how Canada is consistently treated like the ideal, white-guilt-free, super suburb of the U.S. with just the right number of POC and/or religious/cultural minorities to make its liberal WASP majority feel smugly fair…

Not that Papi’s baby momma and her sister’s reasoning aren’t believable, but the timing and his reaction felt like a gratuitous soap opera cliffhanger. This season’s central themes is to update viewers on any significant changes in the 4 year time jump + in-depth central character backstories. Everyone else’s fate…

Loved 2 of the 3 pop song selections; Janet Jackson’s felt shoehorned in. I cringed on how they dumb downed Papi’s persona as a stereotypical example of “clueless” Latino machismo pride. From rejecting Elektra ’s wedding funding largess as a matter of principle to accepting Jimena’s news of his fatherhood at face…

I’m sorry, this series sucked. Revisionist trauma TV. The title is a click-bait misnomer at its worst. Yes, it showed some of the atrocities of US slavery, with the juxtaposition of a completely false representation of what was the Underground Railroad. Sure, most older folks may shrug off the false visual allegory of…

OK, it’s certainly not the first to do so, but the show’s “universe” is just US/UK oriented, which is ridiculous considering its premise. Like some alien specie’s debris just dropped in those two areas, making it easy to keep any deep state experimentation compact? Sure, in this last ep the reanimated George, Finola’s…

An “A” grade?? This was an F! All the way. I want a refund from RPDR on the +90 minutes time wasted on my life, including writing this response! >:-(
Anyway, the reason most DO NOT LIKE Kandy is because she doesn’t measure up to the other contestants of this season or any other season. She should have been eliminated…

So that’s my long-winded critique of S2. It was better than S1, but contains too many weaknesses to be considered great or even good. As others have said, ‘Meh’; binge/cringe-worthy at best. Yet ironically because the pandemic made mass entertainment a wasteland has greatly contributed to Snowpiercer’s continued su…

Kandy clarified herself (pun intended) a major reason I dislike her - HER IRRITATING VOICE. She rapidly mumbles at the same loud pitch, with a screeching voice that perpetually sounds like she’s recovering from a cold that’s left her a sore throat, and some phlegm stuck in the back of her nasal cavity she badly needs…

It’s because Ru cares so much about what the fans want that Kandy is still in the race. She covers 3 or 4 demographics in one: big girl, Gen Z, Latina implied from a modest urban Bronx upbringing. There hasn’t been an episode someone doesn’t point out one of those aspects about her. Because they know it holds a large…
