Episode 3 very annoying!


I found the whole episode very annoying. Too many people asking Anna why did she come here then more telling her to go back to London, with still no resolve to anything going on.

I’ve never been a big fan of the audience being privy to private conversations between characters, and the characters don’t openly discuss the topic. Instead, they speak in veiled secrets which isn’t realistic to private conversations between parties that know what’s going on. It’s an incredibly old and weak technique used to write a mystery, that’s now outdated to more modern writing techniques.

Yes, I'm thinking that someone asked how they could drag things out for another 50 minutes, and not actually achieve anything. There's only so much staring, and evil eyes, that someone can put up before reaching for the remote. I assumed that the shack in the hills would be visited again, but to add to the annoyance, it wasn't, and no mention was made of it, unless I nodded off and missed it. :p

reply

Haha! nodded off - quite possibly you did. There's only so much a viewer can tolerate, regarding wasteful, annoying, uneventful scenes.

Well they managed it for the whole season!!! Still no answers - well very few. I stuck with it all the way - what a disappointment!

I saw the pilot first two episodes and didn't like it too much. I like mystery shows but I'm wondered if it gets better?

Or is it endless stringing along with new vague mysteries and badly written drama?

reply

This all depends on the age and temperament of the person watching IMO. This is addictive to me but people shooting up moth juice will do that... I love *beep* that *beep* with my head.

It is exactly that - endless stringing along with new vague mysteries! By the time we get to the end, I'll have forgotten how it all started :(

Thanks. Too bad. Maybe it's just that we've seen these mystery stories too often now. Outcast has a similar problem. I absolutely loved Twin Peaks when I discovered it years later, but I can't rewatch it either. Lost had to go into crazy overdrive to keep people interested.

Yea I couldn't get into Lost - it lost me in the first ep. Outlander looked so promising with beautiful Scottish landscape and '50s era but I didn't even make it through the second ep. So many ridiculous sex scenes! I loved Shetland in the first 2 seasons because they wrapped up a mystery in a single, movie length ep. But the 3rd season they went for the 7 or 8 eps and dragged out the whole mystery/murders which sort of ruined it for me. Although I still loved those actors/characters tho.
