Polarizing? Lmao. You mean completely diverse garbage. I watched umbrella academy and the later season was just random villians and cr#ppy character development and all focused on Ellen page being trans. Which added nothing to the story. There were entire episodes of her coming out and then add in constant unfounded racism accusations by others. It's no wonder it flopped.

Some of these shows tanked due to sophomoric writing and insufferable 'wokeness.' You know which ones they are. sm_80

As above but also most of these shows never planned its ending which is why they seem like rushed garbage.
