It's not really that hard to figure out. I'm not trying to sound like a dick here.

But if you've been paying attention to what's been going on with Kevin the whole season, I think it's a very straightforward episode.

And the surreal elements are fairly tame compared to some of the stuff you get in other shows like Twin Peaks.

Brilliant is an exaggeration in my mind. I've watched a lot of shows with better payoffs in half the episodes.

In what way?

Really? To me it's very clear from watching 3 seasons of Lost that the writers didn't know where they were going. And also the season-long plot was always very contrived and see-through. Again giving an impression that they were making it up as they went along.

The Walking Dead is in the same boat.

Yeah the reviews were not great, so I didn't bother. But shows with this sort of subject matter can still be interesting even if they're not well received.

There is a Brave New World show on Netflix which is an adaptation of the book.

I don't think it's about how much happens, but how it's executed.

I'm not basing my opinion of the entire show on the pilot, I don't have one. But it's the pilot's job to get me to watch the rest of the show, which it failed to do.

Twin Peaks has one of the strongest pilots of all time, in contrast. Even relatively poorly written shows like Lost have great pilots, and that goes a long way.

Idk I watched the pilot and it just didn't seem very good. I have no issues with watching hard to follow content, Twin Peaks is my favourite show.

I thought the 3rd season was pretty underwhelming and really disappointed me.

Fair enough, I only started watching the show in season 6 so to me that was the standard of the show.

I mean I didn't change my TV settings, and I have a shit 6-7 year old TV. I had no issues with the episode.

The Hodor episode was also pretty good.
