The Meaning of Dreams

I agree with some of the criticism on this app about how it's been a comparitavely slower paced start this season. So far, the writers have shied away from their sense of humour- The sharp, well-written and cringe worthy humour seen in previous seasons seems to be lacking just slightly.

However, Iots of negative reviews on here appear to just be Trump supporters who are unhappy about the dinner scene. There are loads of people who are exaggerating on the drop in this season's quality, as well as unnecessary attacks on actors like Walton Goggins- I think he's been great to watch

I have faith this season will pick up. The acting has been really great and I can tell this season's going to be an extra slow burn that will eventually pay off.

I'm not sure if I was in a good mood when I watched this episode, but this was my favorite episode of the season. It still hasn't fully hooked me yet or anything, and I haven't seen redeeming qualities for most of the characters, but there were certain scenes that were quite hilarious. Rick not reacting well to the weed he smoked and going to a snake show was hysterical (I've been that high before and completely understand his mind in those scenes). I'm still just not a fan of the Ratliff family or the three women. It feels like they added an extra episode this season to make Rick and Chelsea take over the beginning of the season, while the other two story arcs are repetitive and not going anywhere. 3.5/5 stars.

Imagine the chaos happening back home right now, while the Ratfliffs are away and oblivious. Maybe that's the story we should be watching because Thailand is a relatively inert place.

The great cast still lends some interest to the proceedings. Finally, Walton Goggins gets a chance to do something other than mope around with a pained expression on his face.

But the plotting overall is too thin. Maybe Mike White needs a writing partner now to bounce ideas off of, to beef up some of the deader plot lines.

The Thai staff characters are dull as hell. In previous seasons, we got gems like Armond. Why write characters as dull when you have the option to give them some kind of demented liveliness? Instead of having Gaitok be weak and incompetent, have him be a wannabe Rambo type who goes nuts when a thief gets past him and causes chaos in his attempts to be more aggressive.

The plot drags on with no significant developments, leaving viewers waiting for something to occur. This season has been particularly disappointing, with repetitive storylines and a monotonous pace.

Moreover, I don't understand the praise for the character Mook... Her role is uninteresting, and I would even say unnecessary. The character's presence doesn't add depth to the story, and their scenes feel forced.

Everything unfolds too slowly, I know (I hope) that a crescendo and climax await us, but it still could have been better. The potential is there, but the execution is lacking, making it a struggle to stay engaged.

An uneventful hour, punctuated by two excellent scenes, one between the three ladies and one with Lochlan at a treatment to improve his posture.

The few action sequences that did happen were slow-paced and contained very few consequences. They served to firm up some character development, but not in an interesting or novel way.

As it ended, you couldn't help but be disappointed by the lack of story progress. Not unpleasant, but overall the worst episode of the series so far, or at least since early season 1.

It doesn't take anything away from a season that is developing well, but as a standalone, this was a relative snoozer.
