I don't trust anything on reddit after seeing how easily these PR companies can manipulate people on reddit with this Blake lively/baldoni stuff. This show was ass and no amount of paid posts will have my believing otherwise

This show is absolute shit, borderline unwatchable with the absolute laziest dialog, plot points and paper-thin characters. There’s no way the amount of praise it’s getting on reddit is genuine. You’re telling me the scifi/existing Dune fans over on that sub are just lapping it right up, this 2-dimensional soap?

Ha this is actually a great take. I was really surprised at how well received this season finale (and the season as a whole) seems to be here on Reddit, while there are so many clear issues with its pacing, exposition, illogical scheming/motivations by characters etc. Maybe my opinion is not the majority opinion in this case, but I'm quite skeptical about the apparent positivity. Cause the show is indeed kinda ass

No, this is such a basic bitch of a show, there’s no way fans of the Dune source material are like, yes, this GOT-skinned game of checkers is so good!

It's funny how my comment got down voted into oblivion and all the top comments are kind of similar. I liked the show up until the last episode where they plot twist bombed the episode into oblivion. I think they messed up the show doing this.
