The scifi and world-building is great, plot is decent, but the dialogue is mediocre at best and it's full of bland, overly-selfless-for-the-sake-of-the-plot characters who make unrealistic decisions on an episodely basis. Might also be partly an acting problem but in the end I just don't care about them. Holden and Naomi are particularly insufferable.
It's hard for me to care about a show if I don't care about the characters.

But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it’s still haunting.

I think the guy who plays Holden is either 1) a bad actor or 2) a bad fit for the role. Outside of that though I think the acting is fine.

Finished the Witcher, I enjoyed it, the last episode was a bit meh and the book geeks are huge mad, there are definitely bad things about it, but it’s aight overall.

Just tried watching Dopesick and couldn't get past the opening production credits because even on the highest quality setting Hulu's compression is such garbage

I think netflix should stop releasing all episodes of a season at once for it's some of it's best series.

How is it possible to always have the worse take
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

I mean it's great for binge watching but it kills the hype. In 2 days it's over and by the end of the week it's out of viewers minds. Game of thrones reached the hype level it reached cuz it was able to garner and keep viewer attention for a longer period of time.

It's especially bad if you aren't able to binge-watch the entire season and you want to discuss/meme it up until episode x but every forum/subreddit is full of season-wide spoilers.

you don't have to binge watch if you don't like it; I'm not sure cliffhangers were the best thing in the world, anyways; when you release something all at once, you get some more freedom

it's not bad, but I don't think it's the optimal way to consume culture, especially of high quality

again, if that's your thing, that's fine, but it's like eating the entire advent calendar on day 1 — you miss out on a lot of side things
