i liked first seasons very much but then it just gets same old same old, to the point that i hated it. i stopped after s7 i think, im gonna finish it off but at this pace im gonna need few more years before i try again. I feel they should've just gone totally nuts with something, new setting or something just new. that same office over and over again feels like even the creators are just doing it. theres no soul in it. i liked cast tho.

Honestly, it's good. It's not bad, but it isn't great. It's a fun procedural that should have a tough less of a season long arc. It is getting better as it goes along - and I like how it hasn't treated any of the leaps as a joke.

I also like that he is something Super Duper Genius with, what, 8 PhDs like Beckett - it feels a tiny bit more... realistic?

Sam Park from Kevin Can Fuck Himself makes a great new Sam in this series. He's very charismatic and knows how to emote. With current writers pulling inspiration from the internet and social media, we no longer have to abstract away what had been going on back at Al's homebase like we did in the 80s. Wonder if we'll get a Stairway to Heaven reboot where modern-day Michael Landon pretends to be an angel and communicates via earpieces and AR contacts lenses with "God" to help dumb Christians overcome their religious ignorance to make smart, logical decisions with their finances, health, and relationships.

> RIP Shadow and Bone. Very poor 2nd week numbers.

Season 2 was awful and all potential is gone. Such a waste.

Rumor is that to this day the only 2 remaining single characters are still running around aimlessly hoping to find each other to ensure that every person in their 20s - aka everyone on their planet - is in a romantic relationship. Only then can the darkness ratings be defeated.

Its slowly getting better. At first it was pretty dumb, Dr Song has a Phd in physics and speaks Korean and English, where Dr Beckett had 6 Phd's and spoke a dozen languages. So watching Song breeze through the episodes with minimal effort bored me to tears. But so far, im starting to look passed that since the episodes are slowly getting better.

New elements that wernt in the original show.

Other leapers, not evil leapers, but others, potentially from the future.

Other staff helping Dr Song by entering the imaging chamber.

Al Calavicci's daughter playing a major character, but as a black sheep.

People who Dr Soon leaps into, are not transported to the future. Theres no debriefing room for them, they simply dont remember anything.

That is literally what Ozark is. Someone comes to talk to Jason Bateman/he goes to talk to someone. Looks intensely at the person, moment of silence looks down, couple of seconds, looks up, intense moment. Every scene

I'm pretty sure all of the tagging and synopsis writing is done by a single intern who doesn't actually watch any of it.

I'd love to see an analysis of how frequently the word "irreverent" is used/tagged, and how often it's misused.
