what are you talking about, there were always extra people in the crash and they had no story last time, but they were there, and shit happened to them too

waiting to have them be brought into focus was great, and it was already too many people to memorize season 1, even more was pushing it

People like this show?!? I guess it's not the worst pile of turd I've ever seen but...civilian allowed to be working with an FBI agent? Dude and his cop buddy busting into a building after some killers without calling for back up? Like one cliche plot twist after the other? Also zero chemistry between the actors? The absolutely terrible acting from the people playing The hired killers? The fact that if you've ever set foot in Virginia you would know that there are absolutely no large mountains just outside of DC? (The Appalachians don't count. They are not large enough and that is not what they look like). You cannot swap Washington State with Washington DC... Ah geez, I could go on.

The first season of Abbott Elementary is filmed by the person who did the cinematography of The Office, and was designed as a throwback to that style as the network sitcom itself was not being made much anymore. Look at the shows that do well in reruns of the past few years, Last Man Standing, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, etc.

And honestly, while television itself won't stick around, live weekly television can still get more viewers on streaming than streaming originals.

I do know someone that writes on Grand Crew so I can't exactly be fair about it though.

Yeah I think it was deliberate to make Juliette look so rough compared to young Natalie, that kind of hard drug use often makes someone unrecognizable!!! My friend I was watching with was distracted by her facial tics and I’m like…that is the point lol when we are tweaky we are not fun or comfortable to witness
