Didn't realize the show was hated so much. I guess that's most things these days. Personally, I went in knowing nothing, and it quickly became one of my favorite shows to watch each week along with Peacemaker. My only gripe was when I was talking to my friend about it last night and was saying how excited i was to see how this wraps up either next week or the week after and he told me this was the finale... I hate seasons that dont have any distinct end to them, and this one really didn't conclude anything! I guess i just assumed there were more because there were only 8 episodes and was expecting 10. Hope it gets renewed because that would be a terrible ending if this is it. Also not looking forward to the almost 2 years until it finally gets released if it does.
I don't get the hate either. It's a perfectly cromulent show. It innovates within a franchise, while paying homage for its predecessors, without derailing into fan service/derivative nostalgia porn. That's a hard thing to accomplish.
And I see the critiques and while they're valid, they're mostly "this show isn't a masterpiece", which yes. But fucking Virgin River got renewed for a sixth season, it makes no sense to not renew this one.
