I didn't watch past episode 1 of Death Valley and based on the reactions here that was definitely a smart choice. My only takeaway from the 40 minutes I did watch and what I've seen online is that it's probably time I just give up trying with this show. Oh, and I'd also like to impregnate Nico Greetham.
I just saw the ratings. Oh my god, they were already dire but this season was a disaster. The budget for this show is tens of millions of dollars. There's absolutely no fucking way any other show would be getting multiple renewals with those ratings. At some points they're down to 10% of what would have been their normal audience in the early seasons.I just checked the viewer numbers for this season and FX is really gonna give them three more? Good luck with those three seasons you speak of.
If they were killing all alien hybrid baby experiments, how come the main nurse hybrid was allowed to stay alive?
Season 11 has already been announced to be about sirens, isn't it?
I wish they'd fucking write an outline for a full season.
I think that is what is so uniquely disappointing about this series. Rather than the usual idea they don't know how to land and end up stretching for far longer than it has any business being, we have two half baked ideas which could have justified being more substantial. You can easily expand Death Valley along those lines, and Red Tide has so many untapped ideas around what it actually means to be creative and the unregarded worth of creatives like Karen and Mickey. And it was really leaning into that darker vibe. But nope we got the standard issue Falchuk nonsense instead.Yes, I loved that with the flashbacks. If I trusted them to not fuck it up, I actually think Death Valley could have made for a good single season, not just a few episodes. Have it stretch from the 1950's to present day over the ten episodes, tying in to various conspiracy theories/events like you said. Maybe it wrap it up with some real event from the recent years being tied to the aliens instead, like the meme/theory that goes around that says the world did end in 2012 and this all just the afterlife.
Just a very weak finale. It felt like there should have been more.
Just enjoy it as much as you can, as there's genuinely a lot to enjoy. It's good, not amazing, just very good. Until it's very fucking rubbish.I’m starting with Red Tide.
I hate that I’m watching this with a sense of trepidation, not because I’m anxious that something genuinely frightening might happen, but because I’m waiting to see when the wheels fall off…
If I had the chance to get back my time time back, I wouldn’t watch it. The ending of both parts is terrible.I’m starting with Red Tide.
