When they were trapped in a traincart or maybe a shipping container. I felt like the show fell into a loop of finding a safe place then the safe place turning out not to be safe.
Yup. The seasons always felt like 80% of it was drama which would be later be irrelevant or subplots that would be unfinished, followed by 10% scheming and a 10% action packed finale where things would kind of reset.
I'm not sure if people just enjoy watching drama but even on some TV shows that I love for the brilliant writing(like Mad Men) it almost felt like too much.
Anyways I think I got to a season after the prison and I realized the loop was not pleasing to me because the characters had little progression, if that makes any sense.
The HBO "women making increasingly worse decisions and their problems would have been solved had they done nothing in the first place".
This comment alone has solidified my decision to never start watching this series. Thank you.
I powered through that, and I'm watching the next arc. You'll be relieved to know that they've found a safe place. A few of the main cast have noticed some flaws, but I'm sure it'll turn out ok...
