EPTBut, no, its no Breaking Bad. Because that isn't what the creators wanted to make. And the target audience isn't just 12-18 year olds. Its everyone from 12-18 and 30 plus years old. It might not do well in the cynical, elitist twenty somethings demographic.

Alot of teenagers probably don't have the same need for depth and is likely to be more excited by the thriller and the easy to follow story. But I just don't see anything in the show that indicated that adults should be the target group. This show is most definitely not targeted at 12-18 year olds but rather the 30+ who watched tv and movies in the 80's and 90's who get the vibe they are going for. | ||

I would say the IMDB rating was spot on. But then again, I didn't care for Sopranos | ||

It seems you really prefer 'deep', unpredictable narratives Yes and think everyone should watch and enjoy the same thing as you do I mentioned mulitple times that this was my opinion. I guess your just the type of person who wants it to be illegal for people to have a different opinion. The skipping of scenes is just silly From my perspective its silly to waste time watching scenes that you think are boring. Not sure why you would claim other people should be forced to spend time something they don't enjoy. Or perhaps you just think everyone should be enjoying this type of show and not be allowed to have a different opinion? I guess you probably just have a real double standard there. This show is most definitely not targeted at 12-18 year olds but rather the 30+ who watched tv and movies in the 80's and 90's who get the vibe they are going for. Well I also never cared about nostalagia and thought 90s shows were boring, so that's probably it. Like the reason I say it reminds of a kids show is that it had a lot of similarities to alot of the stuff I watched in the 90s and was modestly entertained by back then. But today I am just looking for something else. The series has remarkable depth if you appreciate the production, stream lined plot and the films ability to explain alot with very littl That's not really depth, but I don't deny that the show does do things well. It's just not what I am looking for in a show. | ||

Let's take a look at the defintition of an elistist: Elitism is the belief or attitude that some individuals who form an elite—a select group of people with a certain ancestry, intrinsic quality or worth, high intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes—are those whose influence or authority is greater than that of others; whose ... I speculated over the target group on a discussion forum based on the fact that the characters and plot were simplistic w/ a similar story being used many times before. From my experience that typically attracts a yonger audience. However, I never claimed that my opinion was more valuable than others. All I implied was that I wasn't the target group and usually I have been the target group for most of the 9+ rated IMDB shows, hence why I felt deceived. So in the future please stick to focussing on the ball instead of the man. If you think I am wrong with my target group assesment (which I admittely was), then correct me. It's a bad look. What's a bad look? That I was wrong in my target group assesment or that I had a different opinion than yours and I am not allowed to have a different opinion? Everyone who has a different opinion than yours needs to be labelled an elitist? | ||

If this was an academic discussion and someone tried to critique a book they had not complete read, they would be shut down instantly. | ||

Depth is subjective, in my opinion, and if the show comes "alive" for you, that's depth right there. Complex plot and dialogues is not depth on it's own. Too bad you didn't "get" the show, as in got-sucked-into-it | ||

That does not seem to be the case, but the directors have not really discussed much beyond “it would be fun to do another season. We have ideas and left some things unclear for that reason.” I bet they would keep some of the cast. | ||

When you turn out to be correct almost everytime and most of the scenes are boring and stereotypical anyway, then you start skipping towards the end of every scene. People actually do this...? | ||

i know some people who do this, and my mom does this also. a lot of people just want something running in the backround. white-noise, etc. i'll do this with streams that are chill. people do this with esports teams and sports. like they'll tune in predicting that the chinese will lose and stick around just to see it happen, posting in the LR about how right they are in the meanwhile or using the result to further their argumentative agenda. there were times where i felt it was a waste of time if i wasn't multitasking and listening to music or a podcast, watching something, and doing some calculations or something else in the meanwhile, all while playing a game in windowed mode. so much was taken out of each activity that it enabled me to stay attentive (or rather, less bored) while doing necessary ingame grinding or getting through subscriptions/sorting through things. it also meant that i had to go back and re-experience a lot of the finer things, often entirely missing the better parts due to ignorance or what have you. my mom does the same with her ipad, phone and television dramas. she'll be doing stuff and watching at the same time, but not really watching. she is also a dirty scene skipper. the reason this stuck out to me is because i asked her why she was doing this or if she was really watching. all she had to say was that she knew what was happening. to be fair, soap-operas do tend to have less art to them. however, the difference is that my mom and myself are doing this to multitask or to have something extra running at the same time, not specifically because we don't see the need to focus entirely on the one thing, which is watching the show. i've recently just gotten back into tv-series and i feel the most compelling things are the ways in which production uses scenes to foreshadow and storytell, and facial expressions worn by the many actors (most usually the leads). if it's all in good taste, it's very gripping. thanks again for the recommendation. | ||
