Belly of the Beast

From is a show that beautifully stitches together suspense and mystery. Unfortunately it doesn't get to the broad mainstream yet. But since it took it's next step in popularity, there is a lot of hate from a few people popping up on Reddit. Not criticism, but undirected hate almost against everything in the show. After that you suddenly saw ratings on IMDb decline for some episodes, which don't do the show justice.

In my opinion some episodes are weaker in terms of action, because they are putting more focus on the character development. This isn't one of them. From my point of view it has a great balance between keep-you-on-the-edge horror and much-needed dialogue. I, for one, want to care about the characters, and I don't mind a slow burn. It follows tightly the story of the former episode and increases the stress level in the show.

And again, some outstanding acting in it, like from Harold Perrineau and Elizabeth Saunders. Absolute recommendation. Especially, if you liked Lost, The Leftovers and the first season of Wayward Pines.

And I mean a really generous 4! Although if we're grading "slowness" it would get 10 stars.

Just when you think the show is going somewhere it pulls you back down and introduces pregnancy, and withdrawal . Ok notice to the writers: We are past the mid point of season 2 and we still have no idea what this place is! For a show to survive you need to give the audience, your fans some form of answers !

First season was great and had a great cliffhanger! But this season has just been terrible! Now we're 7 episodes in and still nothing.

We get nonsensical dialogue that neither has substance or entertainment!

At this point you've probably lost a lot of fans and you probably won't get a season 3 after this disaster so what's the point in wasting my/our time with watching !

First season was good. Not great. Enough of a mystery and decent characters. This season is slow and now we've added more characters without building on the ones we know already. We've got no answers, just more questions and things are getting nonsensical. I was with this show for a while, but I'm losing interest fast.

The show had promise but I'm now convinced Hollywood's main goal is to suck people in and then purposely disappoint viewers. Every episode need not be fast paced, action oriented or even move the story forward...but dear god...every episode this season has been a filler episode. Give us something! Do better.

Man I hope this ep. Is better than the last one. It doesn't start off good tho, ELLIS is up and walking around the next morning after suffering from that almost fatal stab wound? Oh PLEEZ. -1 Star.

Que Sera Sera.

Tea Cup takes Attitude out for a hike and a convo about the drone. Attitude brings up a solid point. Why don't you think any of the people here are in on it? Haha. +1 Star.

The Annoying Kid and Victor have a talk and become 'friends' again.

What I really don't get is why all the bad dreams all of a sudden? Now Junkie is having dreams about the music box as well?

So another pregnancy that is not supposed to be possible? More parallels to LOST. I do love Donna's reaction however.

So finally they get to breaking up Smiley's body. Kristi opens it up. They find the body completely desiccated except for the bile in the gall bladder. Okay a fun scene enough for a +1 Star.

Little bit of a sppoky ending. 6/10.

I'm extremely disappointed. The show had a great start, a wonderful plot and world. Season one, especially in the beginning, was sooo intriguing. I was nailed to my seat. There was some bla bla bla scenes here and there, a lot of screaming that is not necessary, but I didn't care because I was getting something. However this season two man!! Just sucks! I don't blame the actors (a little bit maybe because I cringed a lot) I mainly blame the writers. So many side talks that are meaningless and have nothing to do with the story. We are in episode 7 and almost nothing important happened. I had such high hopes for this series but not anymore. What a shame.
