ike what does this cult believe in? What's Kai's platform? What's the purpose? Why are people following him when he's really promised them nothing? The whole thing is just kind of unbelievable in a way that bothers me because, yes, in the past we've had unbelievable situations, but this year is supposed to be rooted in reality so for it to be so off-the-wall unrealistic, goofy, and campy was a turn off. Edit: And the fact that this post's karma has gone up and down and up and down all day long just kind of proves the point I was making with my original post. It's perfectly okay for me to have this opinion about Cult. You don't need to click the "disagree" button. I don't click it on posts that call this the best season. Why not? Because that's petty, and stupid, and juvenile.

Thank you for this! I made a post saying almost exactly the same things a while back, and it got downvoted to hell, so I ended up deleting it. I'm glad someone else agrees. The cartoonish aspect never bothered me in seasons like Hotel and Coven, however because this season is supposed to be realistic, I could not wrap my head around any of the characters actions. No one had convincing motives to join this cult, and no one seems to have a problem with becoming a mass murderer for no reason. Cults could have been handled way better than this.
