Netflix needs to prioritize their spending because a $200 MILLION project not getting an ounce of promo or advertising like, what?

I'm also not here for them consistently raising membership prices because they're constantly wasting it on bullshit

I actually watched it. It was enjoyable enough. A little cheesy but I would have watched another season. I was far more interested in the flashbacks than the current story though. That could have been the show in and of itself.

Doing half the show in the past and half in the present was just basically making two shortened shows.

Plus, [Spoiler (click to open)]if those six got their powers by going to the island... I get how their children could have inherited their powers, but why does it seem like hundreds of others have powers? Did the island become a tourist attraction?!

I think those crew members who got like blasted with the light got the lesser non-flying powers and then all had a fuckton of kids. Have no idea why they couldn't explain that in the beginning, cause I had no idea how the two 4 men (excluding Bibb and Duhamels characters) could create so many generations.

I loved The Order!!! That was such a refreshing show to watch. I loved that the main character actually used his brains every now and then. The wolf pack was adorable and so supportive of each other

That show was so entertaining, had potential and a cliffhanger.

not even pirate sites?? a shame because it was so damn entertaining, i hate getting into shows that only have one (inconclusive) season.

Oh. I'm sure it's on there lol. I just meant it wasn't on Netlfix or Hulu so I stopped looking.

G.C.B., Pitch, Reverie, and Notorious. RIP to all you lovelies. Gone too soon. And yet networks wonder why no one watches them anymore.

I saw it. I had wayyyy too many logistical questions about their powers and shit, but it was watchable. It was on the top 10 in the US (on my list, at least) for over a week but damn, $200 million for that bad CGI...

Also, did anyone else get a STRONG copaganda vibe from it?
