![]() Like a victim of emotional domestic abuse, I left. Yet so many TV dramas abuse this cheap tactic to groom their audience, that it is utterly deplorable. ![]() I think psychologists call it Schadenfreude, and I do not think it makes the world a better place-quite the opposite, actually. ![]() It feels dirty and rotten and manipulative. I do not enjoy the contemporary TV strategy of carefully cultivating hatred so much in the audience that I get an emotional orgasm when the subject of my hatred is finally eliminated. I felt like cattle being herded into a slaughter. Every time I heard the "elected" colony character speak, I shuddered in disgust, which drove me further into the corner of the Robinsons. Smith I seethed hatred, which drove me more into the corner of the Robinsons. It felt as though the show creators were forcing me to like certain characters through sheer force of hatred of the other characters. Power struggles and superficial drama that were ultimately wrapped up neatly in a bow of episode-by-episode cliffhangers-the perfect recipe for stringing an audience along. It wasn't the death of the robot itself, so much as it was the excessive suspension of disbelief with regard to the characters:Ĭompletely unbelievable and petty. ![]() I watched up until the death of the robot in the first season, and really just couldn't stomach continuing this journey. My voice is just a drop in the bucket, but as I have a negative opinion of this series, I'll add some diversity out there in the void.
