The comedic tone of the adult segments cancels out the tension of the survival scenes, particularly as you know who's going to survive. It also flip-flops too quickly between timelines further deflating any tension. And they're all thoroughly psychotic and unlikeable, yet you're supposed to find them somehow edgy and endearing?

Yes. All characters are so unlikeable and unsympathetic. Do I suppose to care for all of them?

"Final Girl" Shauna is the most boring and charisma free as young and as adult. Yet they make her main character. Melanie Lynskey is playing herself as usual. And they found her young version that is even more party-poop person that is always in miserable mood no matter what.

All other characters are unsympathetic too. Its like only Christina Ricci is actually trying and enjoyed her Acting Renesanse and is genuinely happy to be there.

Juliette Lewis always looked even in her youth like she hates being everywhere she is.

once they announced the show will be 5 seasons it was predictable that things would slow down. I still don't see how they can get three more seasons out of it without keeping it real slow and adding new characters.

I really dont understand how they plan to make 5 seasons. I checked out after season one because knew that nothing interesting will happen. Its one of those shows that indroduce good premise then drag it out for years until they will be abruptly cancelled and will not resolve anything. Its waste of time.

I fast-forwarded last 3 episodes when read about "shocking ending". And it was boring as hell like I suspected. All real hype died out after first season like with "Handmaids tale".

And this show has to be expensive since cast is so bloated. And too may famous adult actresses in it. They have to demand big money. They would simply cancel it out of finance reasons.

This show should have been a 1 or 2 seasons mini-series. Hollywood should stat doing them and not drug shows for 5 seasons. Because more and more people are checking out after 1 seasons of such mystery shows when they understand that nothing will be resolved.
