Disconnected griping
Apr. 7th, 2019 07:57 amI try not to let myself get upset or annoyed by how other people react to media, because hey, it's a big world out there and different people like or dislike different things to different degrees, and as long as you're not going out of your way to be am ass to someone with a different interpretation who cares?
But on the other hand, if a show is dark and violent and viscerally disturbing, has been since episode one, and it's made clear from episode one that there are no real good guys (aside from arguably the protagonist and one side character who is in far too deep)
And then every episode is met with "wow this is very violent and viscerally disturbing and I don't like how these characters are acting"
Maybe it's time to look into a different show?
Because I'm familiar with the source material here and, trust me, it ain't going to get nicer. When the happiest part of the ending is the protagonist realizing just how badly he was being used, it's not going to be a feel-good story in any sense.
