I enjoy the show, but also agree with the pacing issue. The season is nine episodes long, and we spend one of them following a guy driving up the coast for 20 minutes. No mystery, no conflict, just a guy and a slippery rock.
The cinematography is beautiful, but the show lacked any stakes for 80% of the runtime, and didn’t explore the implications of the scenario with nearly enough gusto. I would give it leeway on this by looking at is as a slow-paced character study, but the only character in the show does not feel developed either.
Overall the show is enjoyable, but I did not feel guilty using the skip button to get through the most egregious scenes
Yeah. I was also a little annoyed how, during the episode where she visits the dude in Vegas, they played the entire “our feelings for you haven’t changed” message every single time. It felt like 1/3 of the episode was her impatiently waiting for the message to finish
Weirdly, this one didn’t really get to me. The absurdity of having to listen to a passive aggressive voicemail because of your own actions just to harass the people on the other end was funny to me. That being said, it’s inclusion in a show that already likes to drag things out is a bit annoying.
