Was anyone else a bit underwhelmed by season 1? I like a lot of the people involved and found it amusing at times, but it wasn't anything special. A solid background show.

I was worried I'd ultimately feel underwhelmed when I was on the first episode, but then the rest of the show (especially the last few episodes) hit me like a truck. If anything I'd think I'd describe my emotional reaction as overwhelmed. I mostly tried it because I was craving something light and goofy, and now I'm way too invested.

It went from background show to one that made me cry within a couple episodes. The chemistry of the leads became hard to look away for me.

I couldn't make it past the first few episodes.

I didn't really enjoy it, though it had a few good moments. Great cast, but the writing and look of the show just didn't grab me.

Tbh I thought it was truly terrible and a waste of a lot of talent I normally love to see in front of and behind the camera.

Felt like Space Force: 1620 - the horizontal years.

But I suppose to each their own, both this and Space Force have a decent following - just didn’t land with me at all.

I liked it right away and then it got boring. The gay pirate plot did not play out as I expected... absolutely fabulous, darling. It was like listening to emo music in 2005... just awful.

Fucking Emo pussies!!!!! YOU RUINED ROCK MUSIC! IT DIED WITH YOUR I-GOT-DUMPED BULLSHIT!

I thought it was great until the last few episodes. Them being goofy friends had a great dynamic but the romantic aspects that developed toward the end just weren’t as interesting IMO.

The romance was there from the very beginning. They literally played a love song in the scene where Ed and Stede first meet.

Definitely interpreted that as more of a bromance. The explicit romance just didn’t seem believable for the characters they developed.
