Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

My postmortem thought, which is exactly the same as the thought I had when the show was still in production, is that it was too heavily serialized. I felt like I couldn't just enjoy a single episode on its own merit as a piece of solid storytelling, but had to binge watch an entire season to feel like anything important was actually happening, story-wise. In this regard, I feel that SNW strikes a much better balance.

DISCO? It was a train wreck. Gigatons of potential, wasted. Too many cooks, perhaps, especially early on. Likely, CBS should have stuck with whatever Fuller was going to do originally, without interfering. In the end, given what we got, I would be hard pressed to come up with more than five episodes that were worth a spit.

But DISCO gave us SNW, which is a huge plus. SNW has had outstanding episodes.

If DISCO opened the door for LDS, which seems likely, then that was also a positive.

Will SFA be good? That remains to be seen, but the trailers have not been promising.
 
Yeah, though to me a lot of the unevenness felt intentional, like it was an experimental show feeling things out to see what worked and what didn't.
