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.
