I don't know if I was just in a bad mood or if it's AI fatigue, but I watched too little of VisionQuest to have an honest opinion. It just felt like a chore, without any outlook of getting better.

Have you had a similar feeling but were strong enough to fight through more of it, and can you tell me the minute the investment pays out?

Dark Matter on Apple.

A super interesting concept, but it's far out there yet the show is grounded in reality, so at the beginning of the story you have to endure the main character being confused and behaving frantically while you wait for them to get a handle on what's happening and the actual story can begin

    I know the concept of slowly revealing the larger story behind something. But this only works if the way until then isn't too boring or stupid.

    Sometimes googling for when something gets good gives me the necessary information. “Caddo Lake” was such a case. Well, it made me not give up because I expected that it got better, but in the end it was just another Shyamalan disappointment.

    Waking up on a spaceship doesn't sound grounded in reality.

    OK, I got informed that they gave their science fiction show the same name as a science fiction show with many fans who are sad it got canceled.

    That's not as bad as the programming language with the same name as an email reader (elm), but it's equally stupid as the text editor with the same name as an already existing one (zed).
