My biggest fear coming into this season was how they could keep viewers interested now that the biggest question was answered.<br /><br />The problem is they really haven't. They could focus on the world outside of Elliot's brain but we don't see much of that. Tyrell was the most intriguing thing after Elliot last season and we still haven't seen him after 4 episodes. Right now it feels like filler though perhaps the writer felt some transition was necessary to morph Elliot into his next incarnation. <br /><br />The showrunner has stated he wrote a 5 year arc for this story before it aired which is encouraging but this season the show has been boring thus far and as a result it is hemorrhaging viewers. Assuming these set up shows are necessary for a great payoff I hope enough people are watching to get a renewal. I do respect the writer for taking a chance however. There isn't enough of that these days.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-10649122357234188912016-08-01T22:22:23.501-06:002016-08-01T22:22:23.501-06:00I had trouble keeping up with this last season, an...I had trouble keeping up with this last season, and only watch bits of two episodes this season. It might make more sense if I binge watch, but not sure that will happen. I do love the characters though.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-6768839817335378132016-08-01T21:36:28.493-06:002016-08-01T21:36:28.493-06:00I don't like this show.
