Reply to comment by Thereisnocomp2 in Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s ‘Surface’ Renewed For Season 2 At Apple by MarvelsGrantMan136

That was the problem for me as well. I found myself actively rooting against her by the end of the season. And not in a fun way like Succession or Game Of Thrones.

It’s too bad, because Gugu is a fantastic actor. The script was just dogwater.

Yeah the writing didn’t lean into her being an actual bad guy hard enough— that’s the only way i can see Season 2 being worth making. It’s a show about people getting her back for her crimes and she just embraces the reality of her delusions.

I’ve noticed a big drop off in quality of Apples new shows this year, Severance is a big exception to that, and the returning shows were good, but a lot of the new stuff was underwhelming this year.
