Anyone watching Under the Bridge? (Hulu)
It's a bit uneven, but mostly pretty dark.

I have family in Victoria and grew up on Vancouver Island before moving to Vancouver, so I remember this case. We tried to watch the first episode but just could not do it. Not throwing shade on anyone who watches this but just felt too creepy for me even though I knew no one involved.

Yeah, I get that. There's nothing light or easy about this one. When the writing gets bad, or there is some clunky acting it takes it down a notch. But I love Lily Gladstone in it.

Yeah, I've read a bit about it but I don't even know that I'm gonna try and watch it. I viscerally remember when this went down while i was growing up in the Vancouver area. These days I live very close to where it all went down and am in the exact area 3-5 times a week, and think about it around half of those times, so I think that's enough for me.

I finished it and wish I could get those hours back. It wasn't "bad" per se, but very dark and not an enjoyable watch. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I kept waiting for some kind of twist or reveal in the investigation that never came, so as a mystery and procedural I found it lacking.
 
I feel like the House Of The Dragon return hasn’t garnered the proper amount of promotion given that it’s basically one of the few IP’s that currently draws subscribers to Max. I am sure plenty will still watch but I feel like they should be doing more given the the circumstances.
 
And what a return it was.

I saw they did some big promos in NYC like draping banners off the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges for Team Black and Team Green as well as putting a dragon on the Empire State Building.

Maybe it’s just me. I am still a bit weary of what Zaslav and Team Discovery Channel had wrought to the once mighty HBO. I understand the times are different and House of The Dragon is hardly GOT but it seemed to me that the pop culture buzz was lacking. If I lived in NYC and saw those pieces, I might have felt differently.

Ratings wise, it is down from last season. GOT went the other way. It always went up. Maybe you're correct and the marketing has been lacking. It's been 2 years since it last aired. That could've had an effect too.
