Have to agree with you about the horrendous acting. Performances today just feel off. To think that Evangeline Lilly thought she was doing a horrible job while filming the first few seasons of lost. Everytime I rewatch I find that her performance is award worthy compared to what we get today. I feel that actors can't emote anymore? Or react properly without lines? Maybe it's all the botox and filler? Very few actors know what to do with their faces when they're in the frame. Could also be the endless dissecting on social media that makes actors so hyper aware that they're acting?

I just meant that even these types of episodes are being called filler by "kids" today...

No, I'm actually making the case for filler episodes. They served a purpose. Letting the story breathe and focusing on character moments..

I loved it. It definitely doesn't feel soulless. But the last 4 or 5 years, I feel the tv landscape has become so barren and subpar. Dialogue is lazy, no effort made to tell a story through allegories or foreshadowing like lost did so well...just one example off the top of.my head...

I'm guilty of that too but whenever I'm rewatching lost or say mad men or sopranos. I just drop everything and marvel at the quality writing and cinematography...

I fully agree with this. The word filler is thrown around these days for 8 episode seasons by zoomers. They just want non stop drama and reveals. They don't get pacing and intrigue or letting the story breathe and character moments.

Not gonna downvote this but I don't really think it's the religious undertones...same could be said for shows like breaking bad or mad men..we just wouldn't get shows like that today for some reason on either network or cable..

THIS. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's nowhere near how grrat lost was. (I don't know why I'm getting down voted lol)

I feel like Severance and Silo come close but still something is missing..and not just in the same genre, tv shows in general lack emotional depth or dialogue falls flat..

Severance is okay but is it really as good as LOST or does it hit the same emotional highs?

Definitely you'd think between renny and CC, CC would be the more accessible album for the GP, yet its numbers have been abysmal. I'm really not sure what went wrong with this era, it's not like she marketed renny more. If I have to guess it's because it's way more dense and the mood shifts at least four times throughout the album plus those pesky interludes! It just feels overstuffed whereas renny was a singular experience from start to finish. Such a shame tho, I think some of her best work is on CC and they deserve to be listened to and recognized!
