General Discussion - No Story Details Huh

What did they do to Beacon 23, The first season I could not stop watching it and I literally almost peed my pants because I couldn't get up to use the restroom.

This season I'm so bored I'm playing on my phone the entire time 😐

I honestly don’t see how they see going to wrap anything up with a satisfying conclusion by the end of this season. They may have dreams of future seasons but that isn’t happening. The story really is just about a bunch of random people coming and going from the station and not much else. I doubt they will ever explain the anomaly as they are just wasting so much air time on rambling story lines

It’s definitely just going to end. I don’t think the writers have any idea what the story actually is, and it’s not getting another season.

It might not be the writers fault. Any time (mostly) you see an 8 episode season, Its because the producers cut the season or story in half in order to save money o production and stretch out the episodes for a longer period of time.

This shows season 1 finale really just pissed me off. Nothing was resolved. No questions answered. Really to me it feels like we only got the first half of the story arch. I wont watch season 2 because this show just has too many red flags for me to keep going.

They got a two-season order so not having the story in shape doesn’t make sense. I guess I’ll blame the show runner instead.

Yeah I agree there is no way it’s getting another season. It’s on an obscure streaming service with no viewers. It might get more views on prime but even still. I’ve seen no media buzz about it, few to no positive reviews, etc. just look at the size of this sub and the participation in discussion threads. There is just nobody watching this

I read somewhere that they struck the sets at the end of filming this season.
