First, I think Ernest has done a fantastic job and I've been rooting for him this whole time. But it's becoming clear it's all too much for him without the support of a larger team....
Agreed, the latter half especially felt like most of the storylines should have extended into another season. It seemed very clear in the last episode that they weren't sure they were getting renewed, and wanted to wrap things up nicely, just in case.
Kbin here! Posts still federate, although that seems like an oversight in either lemmy or activitypub, since I can't imagine there's a way to locally moderate.
I've been looking for a new synthwave community that wasn't dead, thanks for the heads up!
I mean, it's subjective, right? So far, yes, I'm enjoying it more than Glass Onion, but I'm sure there are people who loved Glass Onion that won't like Death and Other Details. Besides, it's hard to judge a whole season from just two episodes. Maybe as the season goes on, the plot twists will become ridiculous, or maybe the resolution will be mindblowing. Dunno yet.
For me, it's in the "fine" category so far: nothing I'd jump to recommend to others, but engaging enough to likely watch the whole season. It's fairly light and fluffy, but I don't find it as charming as I think it's trying to be. (For comparison, I thought Knives Out was also fine, but didn't really care for Glass Onion.)
Not plot holes, although there may be some of those that I didn't notice. It's more to do with the pacing of the investigation (trying to be vague so it doesn't ruin anything for you).
EDIT: Couldn't get spoiler tags to work, so removed that part.
I enjoyed it well enough, although I actually think season 2 is better. If you're a regular whodunnit watcher, you might be mildly disgruntled at a couple of aspects in season 1, but it's still a fairly compelling watch imo.
You're right, there is tiny bit of fade-out transition at the start of the next track. Starting a song with the end of the previous track is always a weird choice to me, but idk.
Unmoderated and now extremely delayed federation - is it time to move?
