Well, they scuttled it with zero marketing. Now that I'm aware of it, I'll probably enjoy the season since it's made by some great talent.

It's a crime that a steaming pile of shit like Garfield gets what seems like infinitely more marketing than this.

I am very wary now of starting a new show knowing full well that as great as it might be I may never see the conclusion.

You’d think it would matter to them to have reliable endings to shows so people aren’t hesitant to watch and subscribe.

I guess I’m in the minority on this.

That'd require them to have a plan beyond next quarter's profits

Fallout didn't really get any marketing either (at least not in my neck of the woods). But it stood and delivered purely on merit.

It's one of the biggest game franchise in the world, the marketing is already done for it...

Yeah but it sucked

I've seen the trailer and it looks awful! I'm not surprised they're hiding that from the general public. It's another one of those generic action comedies where not a single joke is gonna land unless you're 10

And what if I'm 10? I'm ten four times, which makes me extra ten.
