While that may be your view, I hope you’re not going to work against the show or shows like it either.
Because very many people who between 40 and 55 did brigade against this show, gave it very negative reviews, and discouraged others from watching it without watching a full episode themselves. To the point that Psychology Today wrote a feature article The Trouble With Review Bombing.
Anyone over 35 is not in the key demographic. I dare say that’s most 90s Star Trek fans and most of us on this board.
But if we go out of our way to say that if it’s not made for us we’ll attack it relentlessly so that younger, target viewers won’t even try it, then it’s not going to serve anyone.
And yes, I have seen the entire season of SFA. I watched it with my partner and one of our GenZ kids. And I have signed the petition.
They just said they didn’t like it. Chill.
Ok, so we're all wrong.
They cancelled the show because no one watched it, despite free episodes.
They put the show on a small niche streamer that doesn’t have an audience in the demographic that the show was made for.
The show did much better on Amazon channels than on Paramount+ — ranking 1 or 2 across its run. That tells you that the problem is that Paramount+ has narrowed its audience to Sheridanverse fans, not that the show isn’t good.
Every show Paramount+ has tried to attract the younger GenZ audience with has failed. And the streamer is failing — which is why Paramount has been bought and the streamer will be merged with HBO Max.
That my take as well. I’ve only seen one ep and I liked it. I just haven’t found the time to get access to it bc I won’t subscribe to bullshit services.
It's not that you're "all" wrong, it's that you insist nobody else is right to like something you decided you didn't without watching it.
There were people who followed the show and liked it. The number of signers to the petition vastly outnumber the downvotes to my posts sharing it here. You can deal with that gracefully, or continue as you started 🤷
