OK. So I know this not actually a thread about the show, but there isn't one so why not. Right? SPOILERS BELOW so whatever.
I binge-watched both seasons consecutively and thought the first season was AWESOME. But the second season answered few questions and raised so many more-- it feels like another "Lost" or "Dark" or "Yellow Jackets" where the writers start a mystery without knowing what's happening themselves.
Here are some of my main questions:
WHAT DOES LUMON DO? They have hundreds of locations. If the main characters' work is so unique, what are they doing in all the other locations?
How many severed employees are there globally?
Why is it always fucking winter if many months have passed since Season 1?
Why was there seemingly no news coverage or police investigations of any of the events of Season 1?
Why didn't Devon press charges against Harmony Cobel for defrauding her, pretending to be a lactation specialist??
Season 2 Episode 4 gave me major problems.
>> Why were there clones/doubles/twins? Why didn't the characters want to approach or investigate their clones?!!?>> Why did they take them out into the woods at all?? Why add a new book to their weird bible to tell a story that could have been in the original texts?
>> They could have done this entire episode not on "FURBO" whatever shit they made up.
Harmony Cobel *invented severance* ?! Why. What did Lumon do before severance, just sold ether to a town of culty addicts?? If she's a fucking genius brain scientist, why does she drive a VW Rabbit and live in boxy, subsidized housing?
Why a whole marching band to celebrate the Cold Harbor thing? If they were going to get rid of all the severed employees after that was done, why bother? Why keep a marching band around at all!? Makes no sense.
**I could go on!** But I won't. If anyone wants to indulge me on answering any of these questions as other posts, that might be better than notes. I hate it when shows just do arbitrary things to hook the audience and there are no answers or reasons. Feel like that's the direction this show went. There should be a term for it.. "getting Lost."
