This show is a masterpiece.


In terms of execution, acting, plot, this is a monumental achievement deserving of countless Emmy awards.

I HOPE it does not go ignored.

I will say I hate the Hulu website itself, it's annoying to navigate, offers no way to review the show and offers very little information about the show. So the platform itself is trash, but the show is top-tier.

Well whatever floats your boat and it's great that you get so much entertainment out of it but I think it has teething issues which I was hoping would be sorted this season. Still seems very clunky to me, but still sticking with it because I like the leads.

I more or less agree with you, but I think it stretches the boundaries, so The Path is worthy of some respect, but sometimes it is, as you say, clunky.

Quite good! I think the acting is probably the weakest oart even though it is quite good. I think Paul really carries the show. I think it is a really good show and s2 seems to be measuring up for s1. I loved s 1 because it's very metaphorical and symbolic and it wasn't like other shows.

It really does feel like a spectacular show that's going underappreciated by many but for those that enjoy it, it may just not be enough. It could suffer a cancellation if the network feels the show isn't doing good enough.

Hannibal was a masterpiece too and NBC cancelled but to their defence, they at least allowed the series to have a full-season and a proper ending.

RIP IMDb.

Is it exclusive to Hulu? Add to watchlist..

Nah. But it's good you like it. It's got a lot of issues, especially with the acting and the writing.

The narrative is messy and the plot is predictable. The characters are plot devices more than characters so there's no real development for anyone, they just keep going around and around in circles. And the stupid love triangle BS... well that's a sure sign of lame writers.
