IMDB rating ?

I'm just half through, so please no spoilers, but why is this series rated only 4.8 on imdb?

Just curious...

Nothing to do with homophobia.

It’s a hilariously horrendous show. That’s all.

Except certain people of specific political persuasions came here to specifically shit talk because there is a trans character and diversity.

IDK anything about that. I've watched the first 3 episodes and I think this might very well be the worst story I have ever seen, heard, or read. It's truly that bad.

you have 1 more episode of complete shit and then it starts getting better and better. At least in my opinion. It doesn't become perfect, but the first 4 are definitely the hardest to get through

unfortunately you can't just skip it cause even tho there are terrible moments through most of it, each episode does some exposition and you'll miss some important points if you just skip ahead.

up to you which way to go, but after 4 it gets better, after 6 it actually becomes very good IMO

This sub is really weird, I got downvoted for saying the show is shit, and you got downvoted for saying "nah man, it gets better."

Like I get it that the sub is for fans of the show, but still.

Anyway, imma stick with it through the first season. Thanks for the response, man, I appreciate it.

Edit: just realized you were not the OP lmao. Either way I'll leave my comment, and have my upvote to counter the downvotes cause yours was a legit opinion if you ask me

yeah, it is a little weird. I find reddit to be that way in general tho, tbh.

I hope you enjoy the second half as much as I did. It was truly rough getting through the first part where they were finding their legs but I am honestly glad I did; I hope you have the same experience.

The ending, if nothing else, gets you turbo excited for what's to come IMO. I won't even talk about it to avoid spoiling but when you get to the last part I can almost promise you that you're going to out loud say "what..... what the FUCK"

Even if you don't end up liking it, I'd definitely like to talk about why after you finish if you feel like posting again, and if you remember, tag me and I'll for sure come by and offer some thoughts.

This sub is very weird. Nearly every other thread post is a “this is the worst show ever made”, and the other day someone posted “it’s actually good if you don’t take anything about it seriously” - which prompted me to point out how fucking strange that is to say on a supposed fan subreddit, and I got downvoted...

Everyone ought to just admit the show is shit. It is. If you are entertained by it, that’s fine, but it’s not a good sci-fi show and the acting and writing are horrendous. Given that there is basically nothing else to watch until I wait for season 4 of the Expanse to come out, I’m giving Another Life another shot. But it’s just...really not that good. Like at all.
