Anyone else struggling to finish BM S7? Used to be my fav show since the first series and I did enjoy E1 but man, E2 and E3 were DREADFUL. Did anyone else just find the entire stories ridiculous? They were so cringey and predictable, every twist you could see coming 40 minutes ahead and I’d just assume that COULDNT be the twist as it was so cliche and dull.
Have the writers changed? The hotel reverie cringe when they say ‘oh no she’ll die in the simulation’ had me and my family laughing out loud. I know it’s always been hit or miss but the introspective show that made you think about society, Tech, modern life, etc has been replaced by cringe tropes, ‘oooh computer so spooky’ and soft ball twists that Stevie wonder would see coming.
I’ve seen some people saying they found hotel reverie amazing and cried! I’ve seen less wood in a lumber yard. I’m an old Brit that watched since Series 1 was on Channel 4 in the UK so perhaps this is an Americanisation of the show that doesn’t resonate with me? My whole family felt the same so curious if we’re alone here.
Also, question for those who felt the same, is the rest of the series worth pushing on with? I’m a bit burned out after back to back rubbish wasting 2 hours.
Happy Easter!
