Its "good" scifi but only because the last good scifi was Battlestar Galactica. The final seasons felt rushed though it still had enough inertia from before Amazon to maintain decent quality to the finish.

Well of course it felt rushed, they only gave that season 6 episodes. Thankfully the book is more fleshed out and there's three more books that finish the story. So much nicer than shit like game of thrones leaving us hanging

It's expensive to make and SyFy decided it was underperforming compared to what they wanted. The decent sized fanbase had a campaign going to get some network to hopefully pick it back up. Bezos enjoyed it so he had Amazon get it and make the next few seasons. The books are setup like three trilogies of story. 1-3 tell one arc, 4-6 another, then 7-9 a big time skip and the finale. Amazon picked it up for the middle arc which happens to be slower, different, a lot of the mystery gone, and very special effects heavy with lots of big locations. So it was already stacked against them. I'm glad they took a crack at it though. I liked them well enough and people are overly critical of them.

It would've been a solid TV show for decades - if it was finished, but Amazon canceled it because it didn't turn an immediate profit.
Now it's just that one scifi show that everyone liked until it just abruptly stopped at a cliffhanger.

I watched the first three seasons and gave up. Like everyone else has said Naomi and Holden are the least interesting parts of the show and they're often the focal point of an episode. Everyone else was good to great. Great enough at least to put up with fucking Holden and Naomi christ fuck those two so much.

The actor who generated most of the hype to get the show on Amazon instead of just being cancelled got #metoo'd, which killed most of the goodwill the show had going.

Exactly! Started out strong and it fizzled out slowly. The writers of the Walking Dead did the same shit:
>They kept themselves to the source material closely.
>Show becomes a hit
>They start to cut the material with some gay bullshit
>Quality dips faster than an asteroid
>People stop forcing themselves to watch it, hoping it will get better
>Show gets cancelled.

Same old story, as a show gets big, the more people want to turn it into some gay propaganda bullshit, so the show gets snuffed out by gayness.

The show isn't finished is it retard, no one mentioned the books. The fact that there are three books it did not adapt means that it did not finish and it literally did end on a cliffhanger with the last episode.

i recently rewatched the show
seasons 3-5 are good. first three are definitely stronger and have more character, better pacing and narrative, though. i'd say s4 is on par with the rest but it's just a very different setting from the first 3 which is inevitable given the in-universe changes. s5 is when it starts losing some cohesion and the pacing slows down but it's still watchable. s6 is the worst cause it has the least amount of episodes and it doesn't allow itself to breath so everything feels rushed and we have no time to build the setting for the season.

i'm not racist so idga about the naomi plotline in s5 that everyone complains about and the seasons certainly becomes more enjoyable on binge watch than when it was airing week on week.

The acting and characters aren't particularly good or memorable. It's a decent enough sci-fi show but after season 3 once Amazon bought the show, it kind of just went downhill even if there are good moments in seasons 5 and 6.

A lot of people shit on the Amazon seasons but S4 was pretty good.
I don't think anyone could have made S5 or S6 good because the story is just boring in those books. Then the time skip leading to S7 was just not practical to do in live action TV.
