I get it, I just think the dances themselves were really stupid. This show was treading water for me for an entire season. The characters were crappy but just interesting enough to put up with. The dialogue ranged from average to cringeworthy but a few of the actors were able to pull it off anyway. The plots were flimsy but vague enough to be entertaining and there were intriguing points along the way. The visuals were very, very compelling though. The show looked great. So to have
the primary visual of the entire series play out like a group of stereotypical modern dance artists was just too much. I mean, for ****'s sake, they could have just done this and it might have been
less goofy:
On the other hand I watched
Travelers on NetFlix (one season) and they only really had one dog of an episode. A team member was basically in a coma for the whole episode and it was full of dream sequence bullshit. That was a nice guilty pleasure that I would recommend over
The OA. Or even
Glitch. That was kind of fun but dragged in its emo moments. I'm currently going through
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. It's holding my interest.
