I turned on S02 recently and was whelmed. I’m also on a rewatch of Eureka, a 20 year old show with a budget per season that is eclipsed by a single episode of RoP, and back to back, the absolutely flat colour grading and sound mastering (of RoP) is embarrassing. They had a billion dollar budget?

The SFX don’t stand up compared to the 25 year old movies. The story is centuries - millennia?- compressed into months and years. It’s no wonder it didn’t catch on and it’s not because of woke black dwarves and strong female leads.
