  • I think it likely is getting review bombed for the gay stuff, but honestly there wasn’t even that much of it.

    I thought it got too complicated for its own good and accumulated way too many characters, but that was true of the entire last half of the series.

    The ending was pretty anticlimactic but it wasn’t like how i met your mother levels of bad. The last episode felt at times like a clip show. They should’ve wrapped the whole thing up sooner, but it was not the weirdest or worst ending to a show in recent memory, just kinda drawn out and a bit saccharine.












  • As a background watcher of more true crime than I’d like to have watched, you’re completely right. In addition, the investigations the police do are often unbelievably terrible and have at times led to decades of the wrong people in jail or under suspicion because they’re racist, xenophobic, or just plain lazy and bad at their jobs.

    I watched one that I found particularly sickening where they spent lots of time investigating the dad of the victim and coersing a confession out of him when the paroled, actual perpetrator left a shoe with his name on it at the scene of the crime, and the victim’s young brother said that his dad didn’t do it and saw someone else take his sister.

  • I am even to the point now where I no longer believe certain people need religion anymore. They need community and a sense of belonging and religious leaders like to highjack that basic need for their own selfish interests.

    I think I agree with basically everything you’ve said here and especially this conclusion. The problem is that for many the only type of these things they can find is couched in religion. As a child-free atheist, I basically have no sense of belonging nor a community.

    In addition, some people’s only exposure to even the very concept of morality or ethics comes through religion.
