The show was terrible but I kept watching because I thought the main character would eventually get smarter and kick The Weekend to the curb...
And it seemed like that happened, then they took it all back at the very end.
One of the most pointless shows I've ever seen.
Although if the original director/showrunner wouldn't have quit during filming their original vision probably would have been decent.
Did they quit or did they go on strike? I'm not familiar with the show or its behind-the-scenes happenings.
They quit because that Sam Levinson guy was/is a huge creeper...
Once he took over he did a lot of reshoots/rewrites that made the whole show waaaaay creepier, and I'm pretty sure the "twist" at the end wouldn't have been there.
It all happened months before any strikes. I'm pretty sure the finale even aired before the strikes.
Thank you very much for the context!
