I'm fully convinced now that Servant is just made to settle a bet between tv execs whether you can put out a show in which literally nothing happens or is ever explained and people will watch it.
I know m knightrider scamadingdong likes to put the big pivotal twist that explains it all at the very end of the story but that works for a 2 hour film, not a fucking 3 season tv show. you know what makes a characters actions interesting, knowing the reason why they're doing it. know what is infuriating and shit? watching people do whatever the fuck they feel like with no explanation why they're doing it, for 30+ episodes. they dont even give you enough to feel wtf about the mystery like lost and its ilk. here you may as well be channel hopping with the tv muted and pretending it's an interconnected story that will resolve itself somehow.
it's so devoid of depth if you look up discussions about the show everyone is talking about metaphors hidden in the wallpaper patterns and how the colour of a characters dress in one episode explains everything if you apply a 30 page dissertation of made up context. because there's nothing in the show itself worth discussing.
