Yes, I gave up after two episodes. At first I liked the premise but then saw the show is endless scenes of people feeling sorry for themselves or being cringe in some other contrived way, mixed with crass random swearing and toilet humor. Go to the subreddit and any criticism is downvoted to hades, then there's a bunch of mindless astroturfed enthusiasm.

It seems like a lot of shows are like that these days: they try to be sentimental and sensitive, but then they throw a bunch of gross "humor" in there too. Or there's a lot of superficial political correctness, but at the same time all of the characters are horrible people who treat each other like crap. It's so jarring and tone-deaf.

I'm really looking forward to The Fall of the House of Usher.

I've enjoyed all of Mike Flanagan's Netflix mini-series (except The Midnight Club, which I haven't seen yet). Midnight Mass was especially good, with some very thoughtful and thought-provoking dialog regarding the nature of sin, guilt, and death.

It’s the best series in history for a lot of us. Stick with it. Warning, the show does slow down at points after some plot points. But the stretch from when Anthony Anderson comes on til the end of the show is my pick for best stretch in tv history
