Servant: Season 4

4x01 Pigeon

After sitting through all of the unintentional joke known as season three, I was sorely tempted to bail on this thing despite it being close to the end. But I decided to come back, hoping that SOMEONE in the Apple food chain would recognize and fix the mess. Well, no such luck. This was just more of the same -- about two minutes of plot development and 20-some minutes of someone seemingly trying WAY too hard to impress a former film class instructor, or something. It's almost a parody of itself at this point with its overwrought nonsense, and I'm done. I simply don't care what happens to any of these people anymore. I just don't. Blow up the brownstone and kill 'em all? Fine by me. An 11th hour conversion to sanity and a happy-ever-after ending? Whatever. Go for it. I simply don't care. I may check out a season summary after the fact to see what happened, but at this moment I don't even see THAT happening. If nothing else, maybe this thing will serve as an object lesson on how NOT to do a TV show. As for me, I'm finally done wasting my time hoping for something that's VERY unlikely to happen...
