Television

Not just a specific scene, or episode, but characters repeatedly surviving when they shouldn't.

I decided to start watching this on a whim, and I'm now one episode away from finishing the second season.

The show was created by, stars, and was partially written by Danny McBride and is about a wealthy family which runs an evangelical megachurch. I was initially worried it was just going to be a one-note repeat of "look at how awful these megachurch people are", and while the show has plenty of that, it also makes the main characters likeable (even the really awful people like a washed up megachurch pastor played to a tee by Walton Goggins somehow have you occasionally rooting for them) and has plots that are engaging and weird. After having recently struggled through season 2 of Severance, finding a show which introduces, expands, and importantly ties up plot points at a consistent pace is refreshing.

The show is in its forth and final season. I personally find it to be a good thing when a show is able to gracefully end rather than stretching with muddled filler seasons.

I've watched season 1 through 6 and there definitely were more than one episodes that just left me feeling like crap... But there's so many incredible episodes intermixed, like San Juniperno, that has made me keep coming back.

Today I watched the first episode of season 7, Common People, and... I just can't. It's done me in.

I have a question for those who have watched the remainder of the episodes. Are there any episodes that end on any sort of positive note or are they all this dreadful?

Maybe it's just not for me anymore. I get the premise behind Black Mirror, but there is something about this episode that just kind of shoved me past a point that I'm not sure it's worth it for me to keep watching.

It's been a long time coming. Steel ball run is finally coming!
