Tether

The first season was interesting, but the cast is too big. The writing and acting can come across as amateur and even downright immature. For all the swearing, the writing feels juvenile. For all the horror being implied, the show is surprisingly not very gory / scary.

It has something, but the cast is too big and too many of the actors are weak.

Boyd and Victor are the best characters.

The show needs major trimming. 10 episodes is too few to even come close to getting to know these characters or move the plot along.

The acting can be a bit over the top sometimes in a bad way... I love the concept and a few characters are standouts, but if this show wants to succeed and avoid cancellation, it needs to make major changes by the end of this season. Less characters, more episodes per season. I hope MGM is listening.

Admittedly the premise and concept of this show is very unique and interesting. The life and death nightly danger these people are faced with should make this a must watch. Problem is the writers for this show had no interest in creating believable characters that you root for or an interesting plot.

Why is it every single person in this town uniquely insufferable (including the new comers)! The constant hysterics, saying and doing the opposite of what you'd expect in their situation, and the check box approach to casting and not the ability to act plagues every episode. The dialog, tedious boring drivel, to the point that you pray every conversation would end with them dying a horrible death. And when receiving new comers, the existing townspeople should simply articulate the situation as any normal person would. Those conversations are golden opportunities for a writer and director to create masterful scenes. Not holding them at gunpoint with and over abundance of hysterics and wild gibberish "sigh". The Sheriff, you call this a leader? The constant second guessing, lack of discipline, mood swings, half measures, desire to go on long walks after sundown, or a shred of common sense. And does he have to wide eye draw his gun on everybody he meets for the first time? Well except for the guy chained to a wall. Even then he was hyper focused on setting him free instead of trying to figure out what was going on from someone who clearly knew. Actually he does get bossy for no reason from time to time so maybe that's why he's in charge.

In regards to this season's current progression, the overall plot is going no where fast! This series is no more that a constant cycle of bad decisions, boring conversations, and over dramatized hysterics executed with terrible acting. Season 2, three episodes in and still, no insight into where they are, who are the night monsters, what entity controls them, why can't they enter the house with those special stones hanging, why can't the towns people leave.... just ZERO answers to any major question the show poses to the audience. Even more frustrating, they keep adding on mini mysteries that don't get solved or explained either. Overall they've taken the laziest approach to this series, create a great setting but fill it with random events to kill time and manufacture episodes. This is eerily similar to LOST and we all saw how that big mystery box to nowhere ended. Well that's an experience not worth reliving, time to put this show out of its misery.

From: Season 2 Episode 3 continues to impress with its exceptional storytelling and compelling character development. This episode showcases the series at its finest, delivering a captivating narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The third episode of the season maintains the high standard set by its predecessors, offering a well-crafted and tightly woven storyline. The writing is intelligent and thought-provoking, delving deeper into the complexities of the characters' lives and relationships. The pacing is expertly handled, allowing for moments of tension and introspection to coexist seamlessly.

One of the standout aspects of this episode is the outstanding performances by the cast. Each actor brings a depth and authenticity to their roles, making the characters feel incredibly real and relatable. The chemistry between the cast members is palpable, enhancing the emotional impact of their interactions. The range of emotions conveyed by the actors is truly commendable, drawing viewers into the characters' journeys and making them emotionally invested in their fates.

Visually, From continues to excel with its stunning cinematography. The use of lighting, framing, and camera angles effectively enhances the mood and atmosphere of each scene. The attention to detail in the production design is evident, creating a visually immersive experience that adds depth to the storytelling. The visual effects, when utilized, are seamless and enhance the overall viewing experience.

Furthermore, the soundtrack of this episode is a perfect complement to the narrative. The music heightens the tension and emotion of key moments, effectively drawing viewers further into the story. The sound design is also noteworthy, with crisp and immersive audio that adds to the overall viewing experience.

Seriously, the first season was something new and interesting. The characters were different and intriguing and so many questions! Now it is as if none of the original writers are writing these episodes. The characters are acting a little different and as if their IQs have all dropped below 70. Not a single question has been answered and more questions have arisen. The existing townsfolk are all acting like it's their first night in town. They had set up a sort of societal order and everyone knew their job. Now the people are nonsensical and erratic and have regressed their communication skills to the level of a 12 year old. Keep hoping it will improve to the quality of the 1st season... hope is slim or none. I heard slim was killed by the vampires.

We are witnessing how you can just destroy an entire concept slowy and slowy.

We as watchers are more interested in developing situations and storyline. Rather than that, just spinning us as hamsters on a wheel and not ariving anywhere is frustrating.

Please if you offer us next seasons and plan on doing them please be more target oriented. And please change the intro song. It is the most irritating song that i have ever heard in my life, i do not have proper words to explaing it.

Finally, acting is good and proper but just as mentioned above be more target oriented and flowing. Watching 3 or 4 episodes and feeling like you watched nothing is not nice.
