Lioness/Severance- ** SPOILERS **

[AWP]

Depending upon the polls (HAHAHAHAHA!) we have 5 to 10% of our population who identify as LGBT (I refuse to do additional letters).

Some of you might remember Black Sails which teased a gay character, but then kind of dropped it on us. Even my gay friendly house was "WTF" but your mileage may vary. My take is every show doesn't need someone gay, but the virtue signaling and attempt to "belong" means every show has to include a gay character. These guys nailed it:

Shout out to wrestling fans who recognize the "RKO out of nowhere" but that's why people hate the concept. Build to it, establish it from the beginning, but don't use it as a twist!

"We need to grab the audience. What do we do?"
"Have two dudes kiss?"

Fuck off. That's cheap storytelling and if you want to be honest...it exploits gay people. Build a proper character(s) and story, and no one will give two shits about gay characters. Shoehorn them in to make a statement? GFY.

So.. Who thinks that it was Helly E and not Helly R at the end there?

Confirmed my suspicion about the writing with Severence.

Season 1, as stated earlier, was terrific. A real masterpiece in many ways.

Season 2, on the otherhand, was a complete dumpster fire. I didn't want to finish it, but I did. It was terrible and you'd never guess it was the same show I saw in season 1.

I'm done with the show and do not look forward to a third season (note: Apple did the same thing with Ted Lasso -- great first season then just sucked more and more. I was dumb enough to watch both season 2 and 3) They should've just added a couple epsides to the first season and closed out the series. Instead, they ran it into the ground.
