Oh Murderbot is awesome, love his sarcastic, hating everyone persona. So funny, and the captain is a hot mess with heart, one of my favs.

This looks good. I love Maggie Q, she is always the best. On the list!

Same, I keep saying I will get around to watching S02. I didn't quite click with S01, on the fence, but a huge sci-fi nerd. I will have to load it up soon and see if I get hooked.

She was the best, especially when her character turned into a raging drunk. I love this series.

There is drama, backstories and character development, and then there is long-drawn out dramatic dwelling into a character or characters. We started to see this with the love triangle in S02 with Ellie/Dina/Jessie...ZZZzzzzzzzZZZzzzzz. Guaranteed, if this series continues, they will switch up the love interest over and over, much like TWD and much like a soap opera.

Any post-apocalyptic subject matter, tbh. I agree, the TWD zombies were kind of wooden and had little to no progression built in, but still, the over-the-top melodrama existed.

It is so fun to trash them.

Exactly. Unfold the mystery of the infected, their hierarchy, all that is exciting ...and scary. Nope, they, and I am looking at Walking Dead also, always pivot to drawn out character drama, most of which is unnecessary, basically low effort screen writing.

I wouldn't even think about leaving Linux. I use Arch, btw!

Not the UK. Anita Bryant an evil bigot who laid the groundwork for Florida's Don't Say Gay bill and advocated against gay rights, "protect the children." DeSantis later signed in a bill kind of based off her original one re the classrooms, etc. Too bad FL has such beautiful coastlines, but it really should be boycotted at all cost. A lot of the people outside the gay meccas support these efforts.

They are correct in a few points, the end of one of the main characters was a let-down. But a show can live on from that, sadly, the turnaround for me wasn't so palatable. They did point out that the end of season one, when they got to a "safe space," felt story ending. It did, but then instead of that micro focus on the two characters, it went straight into macro character development with many characters. It was a sludge-fest, a soap opera melodrama, less about the infected (not even shown in the last ep of season 2, sigh.) I have no plans of watching season 3.

Have you tried one of the custom rom OS's, like CalyxOS or Graphene? You can use their built in firewall to disconnect Google's Photo app. It also uses MicroG for google play services and the like, so basically de-googled.
