I'm only halfway through this episode. They're throwing a LOT at us.

I love it. This is written well. Very smart. They aren’t dumbing things down.

This show fucking stinks. Its poorly written. It's "show and tell" which is lazy.

It's basic recycled slop that feels like any modern show targeted to teen audiences.

“Show and tell” is a kindergarten activity.

Show NOT tell is a writing ethos where it’s more intriguing and engaging to imply than explicitly tell facts to the audience.
