I haven't seen the show, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing there is now sociopolitical commentary of a certain slant rearing its head and characters are starting to act the way you would expect a certain group to behave on the current popular social media circuits?

I watched both episodes last night and none of that is present except for casting choices. Its following the game some, and offering new scenes as well as new lore for the creatures. I think its working well so far!

A well educated guess, as that is what any rational person today would guess having not seen it, but no, it just turned awful.

It didn't go woke, just boring.

Is hard to quantify. Will watch another as it might pick back up.

I binged the first three episodes tonight. I thought episode 2 was one of the best episodes of television ever. Hall of Famer IMO.
