    What a bizarre reply…

    Did you create the show and the lore?

    No.

    Then how can you say that it’s “losing itself”?

    I am able to form opinions on the show because I have watched it.

    I’m pretty sure Ben Stiller, and the rest, knew where the show was going to go in Season 2 from the start.

    Oh, yeah no I’m not quoting Ben Stiller good catch, this is my own opinion I formed by watching the show.

    Just because it’s going in a different direction than you thought, doesn’t mean it’s “losing itself.”

    Agreed. It’s losing itself for other reasons.

    Does that help?

      Of course you are entitled to your opinion. I just think “it’s losing itself” comes off more as a statement of fact than an opinion. At least to me. But I guess I misunderstood.

      In my mind, at least this early on in a series, only the people who created the show can say if it’s “losing itself.”

        I dont know what to say, its my opinion. I don’t think anyone was reading my comment as a statement of fact. I’m just a random person online, no ones treating me as an objective authority.

        Other users have different opinions and are free to up and downvote my comment or post a different take and those can be upvoted.

        If you disagree with / are interested in having me elaborate on my reasons for feeling like the show is losing itself I worry that might get into spoilers territory though I’m not in principle against that conversation in the right context.

        Maybe just leave a comment saying “I don’t think it’s losing itself, it’s been consistently good this season” or something like that and let the upvotes do their thing?

        But you started basically from a place of “you’re not the creator so you aren’t allowed to say that” and I cant really respond to that beyond pointing out I am allowed an opinion on it and that’s not a really productive way to open a discussion.
