That leaves for an interesting question: why is most writing these days so god awful? There are great writers out there. Hollywood isn't stupid (is it?) and wants money. Why do they put shit writers on so many projects that then flop like the shit that it is?
Executives chasing profits with data they don't understand, or the show just sticks around too long.
What are your opinions on The Magicians?
I did not like the constant tonal shifts between silly magic frat boys and depressing magical apocalypse.
But I've heard the follow-up to Suicide Squad, "Birds of Prey (and some clown woman)" had great writing, so... does that even out?
I haven't seen Birds of Prey, but "The Suicide Squad" (not to be confused with "Suicide Squad", which I also didn't watch) was very good.
Edit I may be stupid,
Preacher, the series adaption. Could have used the comic, but no, Seth Rogen had to butcher it.
Mr Robot the writing was so bad I genuinely spent several episodes thinking it was a parody of how bad Hollywood script writing had got.
Like someone was trying to make M Night Shyamalan's Fight Club: Now with More Daddy Issues.
I was watching with two friends and I thought they didn't like it because I was the only one laughing.
I haven't watched all of them but the animated Suicide Squad movies have been pretty good.
Ironic grammatical error
Darling in the franxx, I was really interested in the world building and was on the minority of people that liked the episodes that had no mecha fights and they were just exploring the current city and how weird it was.
But trigger couldn't contain themselves and had to do their asspulls and sudden massive power escalation that worked on Gurren Lagann because it wasn't a grounded take on post-apocalyptic future with a few mechas that defend humanity!
Sliders.. Had two great seasons then they started chasing trends and it jumped off a cliff.
