I don’t mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn’t bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.
For me, it wasn’t even the children in adult bodies that were the problem. Kids are dumb, so their choices and the way they reacted to events could be given a pass. It’s how dumb the supposedly smart adults were that was the problem.
The vibes are definitely different from Alien as a whole, but I liked the kids’ roles in how the synths are portrayed, and really how the show develops the factions of immortality, murky ethicality, beings as superweapons, and psychology of the self, all with a more relatable setting of earth and (corporate) society.
I get the qualms about it, but at the same time it seemed perfect to me in adding to the universe.
